Translation

Di sana terdapat ayatan Bhagavan Vishnu, Sang Parameshvara. Dan di antara dua gunung besar, Shukla dan Pandura, ada suatu bonggol batu selebar tiga puluh yojana dan sepanjang sembilan puluh yojana, tanpa pepohonan. Di situ ada tasik panjang yang bebas lumpur, serta kolam teratai di daratan yang berpohon, dihiasi teratai pelbagai jenis. Di tengahnya berdiri pohon nyagrodha (beringin) yang agung, berukuran lima yojana. Pada pohon itu Dewa Chandrashekhara, Uma-pati, yang berpakaian biru, bersemayam sambil dipuji oleh yaksha dan yang lain. Di antara Gunung Kumuda yang berpuncak seribu terdapat puncak tinggi laksana gugus tebu, panjang lima puluh yojana dan lebar dua puluh yojana, didiami banyak burung serta indah oleh buah-buahan manis yang menitis. Di sana ada ashram besar Indra, dibina menurut maksud ilahi. Dan di antara Shankhakuta dan Rishabha terdapat Purushasthali yang permai, kaya pelbagai keutamaan, terbentang beberapa yojana, dipenuhi buah kankolaka sebesar bilva dan aneka wangian; di sana naga dan lainnya menetap, mabuk oleh “purushakara”.
