Chapter 63

After a brief meeting with the King of Heaven, I was brought back to another crystalline chamber. I didn't know how many days I had stayed there, but during those times, I was groomed and fed with divine food and medicines. It slowly began to relax me. Soon, I had become even stronger than ever, but my mind was still floating in a good-natured haze. It was like I was living in a dream-like state that I had little control over.

Is this how it feels being in heaven? I thought.

Every day, I went out exploring the place. In the sutra that I had learned with the avatars, Amaravati was populated by three hundred and thirty million celestial beings. It was constructed by a god Viswakarma, the divine architect. The great kings and warriors would enter Indra's court after death. They would live without sadness, pain, or fear.
