Having granted them boons BrahmŒ went away, while they returned to their home rejoicing. The demon Maya had a daughter, Mandodar¶ by name, who was exceedingly beautiful, a jewel of womankind. Maya brought and made her over to RŒva˜a, knowing that the latter was going to become the lord of the demons. Delighted at having obtained such a good wife, RŒva˜a next went and married his two brothers. On a three-peaked mountain called Trikµu¢a in the middle of the ocean there stood a very large fortress built by BrahmŒ himself. The demon Maya (who was a great architect) renovated it. It contained numberless palaces of gold and jewels, and was more beautiful and charming than BhogŒvat¶ (the capital of PŒtŒla, the nethermost region in the core of the globe), the city of the serpents, and AmarŒvat¶, the capital of Indra (the lord of paradise). It was known throughout the world by the name of La˘kŒ. (1—4)
