According to the Lokasthitābhidharma-śāstra: outside the Great Saline Ocean there is a mountain range named the Iron Ring. It enters the water by 312½ yojanas, projects out of the water by the same, and its width is likewise the same. Its circumference is 3,600,010,350 yojanas. Measuring from the southern extremity of Jambudvīpa to the Iron Ring Mountains is 300,060,663 yojanas. Measuring from the centre of Jambudvīpa to the centre of eastern Pūrvavideha is 300,060,600 yojanas. Measuring from the centre of Jambudvīpa to the centre of western Godānīya is 300,060,600 yojanas. Measuring from the northern extremity of Jambudvīpa to the northern extremity of northern Uttarakuru is 400,077,500 yojanas. Traversing from the water edge of the Iron Ring Mountains to the water edge of the westernmost Iron Ring Mountains across the distance is 1,200,002,825 yojanas. The circumference of the water edge of the Iron Ring Mountains is 3,600,008,475 yojanas. From the summit of this Mount Sumeru to the edge of the summit of that Mount Sumeru is 1,200,003,450 yojanas. From the centre of this Mount Sumeru to the centre of that Mount Sumeru is 1,200,083,450 yojanas. From the base of this Mount Sumeru to the base of that Mount Sumeru is 1,200,003,015 yojanas. Meanings such as these were spoken by the Buddha-Bhagavān (according to the Dīrgha-āgama: Jambudvīpa is 7,000 yojanas in length and breadth; western Godānīya is 8,000 yojanas in length and breadth; eastern Pūrvavideha is 9,000 yojanas in length and breadth; northern Uttarakuru is 10,000 yojanas in length and breadth).
