Translation
Its beauty was enhanced by artistic engravings here and there on the walls. The floor was of emerald, with coral daises.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
It was made beautiful with various sculptures placed here and there and with emerald floors and coral platforms.
Purport
At the present moment people are very proud of their architectural art, yet floors are generally decorated with colored cement. It appears, however, that the castle constructed by the yogic powers of Kardama Muni had floors of emerald with coral daises.
