"May the rulers of the earth protect the well-being of the people, With justice, by means of the right path. May there always be good fortune for cows, Brahmins, and all living beings, May the inhabitants of all the worlds be full of happiness.

Maharishi Ved Vyas closed the yajna by sprinkling holy water over the fire. His disciples went in different directions to dredge shanti jal over everyone's heads from the brass kalash. The attendees bowed their heads to receive the sacrament being poured three times, with the vamans reciting the peace invocation hymn in chorus.

The Mayasabha was a hall par excellence. Its floor shined like a mirror. It had areas that appeared like a real pond but in fact, was hard floor. At other places, what appeared like a hard floor was in fact water ponds. Hallways appeared to be where there were walls and vice versa. The columns of this palace were made of gold.
Maya also appointed his kinsmen, eight thousand rakshasas known as the Kinkaras to guard this palace. Inside the palatial hall, there were many interesting devices that were a delight to behold and would cause wonderment to even the most jaded observer. It took the daitya just fourteen months to complete this building.
