saptamaṁ kāpilaṁ varṣa saptaitāni varṣalambhakāḥ | eteṣu devagandharvāḥ prajāś ca jagatīśvara |
サンジャヤは言った。「第七の分域はカーピラ（Kāpila）と呼ばれる。これらが大地の七つの大区分である。おお、世界の主よ。そのすべてにおいて、神々、ガンダルヴァ、そして人々が、満ち足りて住まいを楽しみ、安らかに遊行している。そこには死がなく、また王よ、盗賊も、ミレッチャ（mleccha、夷狄）の種族も存在しない。」

Educational Q&A
The verse contrasts an ideal, dharmically ordered realm—free from death, crime, and social disruption—with the human world, implying that righteous order and protection of subjects are central to kingship and to a harmonious society.
Sañjaya is describing cosmographical divisions of the earth, naming the seventh as Kāpila-varṣa and portraying it as a blissful region inhabited by gods, Gandharvas, and people, where death and criminal or mleccha disturbances are absent.
