Every door was decorated with arches having shining makaras engraved on them, erected overhead, as well as was decorated with banana trunks with buds and flowers, young betel trees. The doors were hung with mangos, leaves, cloth and strings of pearls, and decorated with water pots and lamps. Four verses describe the city. Upasaṅklptaiḥ means that ingredients were brought from gardens and assembled. The arches had shining makaras forms on them. The banana trunks had fruits and buds (savṛtaiḥ). Apāṁ kumbhaiḥ sadīpakaiḥ modifies this.
