He acquires an excellent car adorned with pure gold, possessed of the effulgence of a blazing fire and drawn by swans and peacocks.

He leads such a life of happiness for ten thousand million years and three thousand million besides and eight and ten Padmas and two Patakas.
He acquires a car drawn by peacocks and swans and cranes. It is well-known that such residence lasts for full three Padmas of years.

I also gave away ten and then seven crores of steeds, O Grandsire, each of green complexion, each having ears that were dark, and each adorned with garlands of gold. I also gave away ten and seven thousand elephants of huge size, of teeth as large as plough-shares, each having those whorls on its body which are called Padmas, and each adorned with garlands of gold.
