Before the temple of Shiva, he dug a pond in which reflected the 
rays of the pearls stuck in the diadem of the crest of the female ser- 
pent and to which the black bees are attracted by the sweet scent of 
the musks applied to the breasts of the maidens who go to bathe there. 
[The snakes are supposed to reside in Patal, a region below this 
earth. He dug his pond to such a depth, to cause the rays of the dia- 
monds over the heads of the female snakes to pierce, through its 
waters. ]

This descendant of the Sena family did wisely provide for the poor, 
inasmuch as he clothed Digambar (naked) with coloured dresses, 
adorned his body with golden ornaments, erected a palace for him, as 
he used to live in Shashana (a place where dead bodies are burnt,) and 
made him rich, as he maintained himself by begging. 
[In the Hindu mythology, Shiva is represented as naked, living in 
Shashana, and maintaining himself by begging. He is ornamented, 
with serpents. ]

This king dressed Shiva at his own choice in the shape of Kalpa 
Ka4palika, replacing his (Shiva’s) tiger’s hide by coloured silken clothes, 
his serpents by bulky garlands pendent over his breasts, his ashes by 
sandal wood powders, his rosary by blue pearls, and his human bones 
by gems.
