English: And no creature with his natural eyes made of flesh, can ever see its shape or figure, and neither heat nor cold prevails there, nor does the sun shine or the winds blow.
Sanskrit: न जरा क्षुत्पिपासे वा न मृत्युर्न भयं नृप। तस्य शैलस्य पार्श्वेषु सर्वेषु जयतां वर॥
English: And, O king, neither does senility, nor hunger, nor thirst nor death nor fear afflict any one there.
