Significado

It is understood from this verse that the castle had many stories. The words upary upari vinyasta indicate that skyscrapers are not newly invented. Even in those days, millions of years ago, the idea of building many-storied houses was current. They contained not merely one or two rooms, but many different apartments, and each was completely decorated with cushions, bedsteads, sitting places and carpets.

De este verso se deduce que el castillo tenía muchos pisos. Las palabras upary upari vinyasta indican que los rascacielos no son un invento reciente. Incluso en aquellos días, hace millones de años, era corriente la idea de construir casas de muchos pisos. No contenían solamente una o dos habitaciones, sino muchos apartamentos diferentes, y cada uno de ellos estaba completamente decorado con cojines, camas, lugares para sentarse y alfombras.
