「比丘！彼欝單曰土四面有四阿耨達池，各縱廣百由旬，其水澄清，無有垢穢，以七寶塹廁砌其邊，乃至無數眾鳥相和悲鳴，與摩陀延池嚴飾無異。彼四大池各出四大河，廣十由旬，其水洋順，無有卒暴，眾花覆上，汎汎徐流。挾岸兩邊多眾樹木，枝條柔弱，花果繁熾，地生濡草，槃縈右旋，色如孔翠，香猶婆師，濡若天衣，其地柔濡，以足蹈地，地凹四寸，舉足還復，地平如掌，無有高下。又彼土地無有溝澗、坑坎、荊棘、株杌，亦無蚊虻、蚖蛇、蜂蝎、虎豹、惡獸，地純眾寶，無有石沙，陰陽調柔，四氣和順，不寒不熱，無眾惱患，其地潤澤，塵穢不起，如油塗地，無有遊塵，百草常生，無有冬夏，樹木繁茂，花果熾盛，地生濡草，槃縈右旋，色如孔翠，香猶婆師，濡若天衣，其地柔濡，以足蹈地，地凹四寸，舉足還復，地平如掌，無有高下。

“Monks, that land of Uttarakuru has four Anavatapta lakes on its four sides. Each of them is a hundred yojanas across. Their water is clear and unpolluted, and they’re ringed by stepped embankments made of the seven treasures … countless birds sing to each other peacefully, and nearby Lake Mandākinī is not decorated any different than before.

Those four great lakes each produce four great rivers that are ten yojanas wide. Their currents flow gently without any rapids, and they’re covered with many flowers that float downstream smoothly. Those streams flow between two rows of various trees. Their branches are flexible, and their flowers and fruit are bountiful. Lush grass grows in clockwise coils on the land. It has the color of a peacock or a kingfisher and the fragrance of vārṣika flowers, and it’s soft as heavenly cloth. The ground is also soft to walk on. The earth sinks four inches and then springs back when one lifts their foot. The land is level like the palm of a hand, without any high or low points.

“Moreover, that land is devoid of gullies, pits, brambles, or stumps, nor does it have biting insects, venomous snakes, scorpions, tigers, and other dangerous animals. The earth is made purely of many treasures, without any stones or sand. The weather is mild, and the seasons are gentle, being neither cold nor hot. There isn’t any kind of trouble.

“That land is moist. Dust and dirt doesn’t kick up, as though it were a wetland. There isn’t any dust that blows around. A hundred kinds of grass grow constantly, for there isn’t any winter or summer. The trees are abundant, and their flowers and fruit are bountiful. Lush grass grows in clockwise coils on the land. It has the color of a peacock or a kingfisher and the fragrance of vārṣika flowers, and it’s soft as heavenly cloth. The ground is also soft to walk on.
