In this continent of Jambūdvīpa, up to: if a deity of great power, up to: great majesty, thinking ‘instantly, instantly,’ having circumambulated this entire continent of Jambūdvīpa twenty-one times in the time of three snaps of the fingers, were to come swiftly; and that deity, flying at that highest, swift, up to: divine divine speed, were to fly for one day, or two days, or three days, \[or\] at the most for half a month—at some \[points\] he might cross the Kṛṣṇarāji, and at some \[points\] he might not cross the Kṛṣṇarāji.
