इयं च पृथ्वी लक्षकोटिशतानेकसंख्यातानां पूर्णा तेषु च सिद्धविद्याधराणां निलयाः ते च मेरोः पार्श्वतः केसरवलयालवालं सिद्धलोक इति कीर्त्यते ।
iyaṃ ca pṛthvī lakṣa-koṭi-śata-aneka-saṃkhyātānāṃ pūrṇā teṣu ca siddha-vidyādharāṇāṃ nilayāḥ te ca meroḥ pārśvataḥ kesara-valaya-ālāvalaṃ siddhaloka iti kīrtyate
यह धरती लाख और करोड़ जीवों से भरी है। सिद्ध और विद्याधर लोग वहाँ रहते हैं। मेरु पर्वत के पास का इलाका सिद्धलोक के नाम से जाना जाता है। वो एक गोल चक्कर जैसा है।
