Here, while explaining the formation of the world, it explains sentient beings; this is a general explanation of the completion of formation, not a specific explanation of the arising of their own entities. Therefore, the earlier explanation of birth specifically revealed the arising of their own entities; now in explaining formation, it generally explains the completion of formation, which is also not contradictory. The first text has eight parts: 1. explaining the four continents; 2. explaining the waters; 3. explaining the abodes of deities; 4. explaining the abodes of devas; 5. explaining the Snow Mountain and so forth; 6. explaining Mount Sumeru; 7. re-explaining Jambudvīpa; 8. re-revealing the nine intermediate continents. "Jambu" is named after the tree. "Videha": here translated as "Superior Body," because their physical appearance is superior. "Godānīya": here translated as "Cattle Market," because they use cattle for trade. "Uttarakuru" means square. "Like a cart" means like the carts of the Western Regions, wide above and narrow below, resembling the shape of this continent, narrow in the south and wide in the north. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.104](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.1.104) - [Next: 1.106](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.1.106) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829~en-mt.1.105) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [瑜伽論記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.1.487) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.1.105](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.1.105) · Pramāṇa
