論「復有八中洲至羅剎娑居」，明八中洲。「遮末羅」者，此云猫牛。「筏羅遮末羅」，此云勝猫牛。「提訶」，此云身。「毘提訶」者，此云勝身。「舍搋」者，此云諂。「嗢怛羅漫怛里拏」，此云上議。「矩拉婆」者，此云勝邊。「憍拉婆」者，此云有勝邊。一說八洲皆人所住。一說唯一羅剎娑居。《婆娑》一百七十二云「此八洲中人形短小，如此方侏儒。有說：七洲是人所住，遮末羅洲唯羅剎娑居。有說：此所說八即是四大洲之異名，以一一洲皆有二異名故。如是說者，應如初說。」准此論文，即二說中前說為正。

The commentary says: "There are further eight intermediate continents... inhabited by rākṣasas"—this explains the eight intermediate continents. "Cāmara" is translated here as "Yak-Ox". "Varacāmara" is translated here as "Superior Yak-Ox". "Deha" is translated here as "Body". "Videha" is translated here as "Superior Body". "Śāṭhā" is translated here as "Flattery". "Uttaramantrina" is translated here as "Superior Counsel". "Kurava" is translated here as "Superior Margin". "Kaurava" is translated here as "Possessing a Superior Margin". One master says all eight continents are inhabited by humans. Another master says only one is inhabited by rākṣasas. The Vibhāṣā, fascicle 172, says: "In these eight continents, the bodies of humans are short and small, like dwarfs in this land. Some say: Seven continents are inhabited by humans, and Cāmaradvīpa is inhabited solely by rākṣasas. Some say: These eight that are mentioned are simply alternative names for the four great continents, because each single continent has two alternative names. Regarding what is said thus, one should follow the first explanation." Based on this text, between the two assertions, the former is correct.
