3.7
In the sea, there are 2,500 kingdoms: 180 kingdoms eat the five grains, and 2,320 kingdoms eat fish and turtles. There are five kings, each ruling over five hundred cities. The first king is named Śrī; the country wholly serves the Buddha and does not serve heterodoxies. The second king is named Kāla; the land produces the seven treasures. The third king is named Pula; the land produces forty-three kinds of fragrances and white vaiḍūrya. The fourth king is named Jaya; the land produces long pepper and black pepper. The fifth king is named Napo; the land produces white pearls and seven-colored vaiḍūrya. The people of the five great kingdom cities are mostly dark, short, and small, situated 650,000 li apart. Beyond this, there is only sea water and no human inhabitants, 1,400,000 li from the Iron Ring Mountains. Among them, the solitary place of eight gomas where people are killed lies 80,010 li east of Śrāvastī; the place transformed by the Buddha is also one place.
