Chapter 7: Dvīpa–Varṣa–Meru-varṇana
Description of the Dvīpa, Varṣas, and Mount Meru
तत्र तेषां मन:शान्तिर्न पिपासा जनाधिप । तस्मिन् फलरसे पीते न जरा बाधते च तान्,राजन! फलोंके उस रसका पान कर लेनेपर वहाँके निवासियोंके मनमें पूर्ण शान्ति और प्रसन्नता रहती है। उन्हें पिपासा अथवा वृद्धावस्था कभी नहीं सताती है
tatra teṣāṁ manaḥśāntir na pipāsā janādhipa | tasmin phalarase pīte na jarā bādhate ca tān rājān ||
Di sana, wahai penguasa manusia, batin mereka berdiam dalam ketenangan dan kepuasan; dahaga tidak mengusik mereka. Setelah meminum sari buah itu, wahai Raja, usia tua beserta segala deritanya tidak menindas para penghuni negeri itu.
