Pṛthivyāyāma-vistara (Extent and Divisions of the Earth) / पृथिव्यायामविस्तरः
अत्र वो वर्णयिष्यामि वर्षे ऽस्मिन् भारते प्रजाः / इदं तु मध्यमं चित्रं शुभाशुभफलोदयम्
atra vo varṇayiṣyāmi varṣe 'smin bhārate prajāḥ / idaṃ tu madhyamaṃ citraṃ śubhāśubhaphalodayam
Here I shall describe to you the beings in this Bhārata-varṣa; this is the wondrous portrait of the middle realm, where the fruits of the auspicious and the inauspicious arise.
