सर्वा मणिमयी भूमिः सूक्ष्मकाञ्चनवालुका । सर्वत्र सुखसंस्पर्शा निष्पङ्का च जनाधिप॥६-८-६॥

The ground there is entirely gem-like, with fine grains of golden sand; everywhere it is pleasant to the touch, and it is free of mud, O lord of people.

english translation

देवलोकच्युताः सर्वे जायन्ते तत्र मानवाः । तुल्यरूपगुणोपेताः समेषु विषमेषु च॥६-८-७॥

All the humans born there are those who have fallen from the world of the gods; they possess uniformity of form and qualities—both in level places and in uneven ones.

english translation

मिथुनानि च जायन्ते स्त्रियश्चाप्सरसोपमाः । तेषां ते क्षीरिणां क्षीरं पिबन्त्यमृतसंनिभम्॥६-८-८॥

There, pairs are born, and the women are like apsarases. Those milk-bearing beings drink milk said to be like amṛta, the nectar of immortality.

english translation

मिथुनं जायमानं वै समं तच्च प्रवर्धते । तुल्यरूपगुणोपेतं समवेषं तथैव च । एकैकमनुरक्तं च चक्रवाकसमं विभो॥६-८-९॥

When a pair is born, it grows in equal measure. Alike in form and qualities, and likewise alike in attire, each remains devoted to the other—like a pair of cakravāka birds, O lord.

english translation

निरामया वीतशोका नित्यं मुदितमानसाः । दश वर्षसहस्राणि दश वर्षशतानि च । जीवन्ति ते महाराज न चान्योन्यं जहत्युत॥६-८-१०॥

Free from illness, free from grief, and with minds ever cheerful, they live for ten thousand years and a further ten hundreds of years, O great king; and they do not abandon one another.
