At that time, in that period, there was a city named Mithilā—description [as elsewhere]. The Māṇibhadra caitya—description [as elsewhere]. The Master arrived, the assembly went forth [to listen] up to Lord Gautama, venerating him, spoke thus: "Where, Venerable Sir, is the continent Jambūdvīpa? Of what shape, Venerable Sir, is the continent Jambūdvīpa?"
Thus the Jambūdvīpaprajñapti is to be recited, up to: "Even so, all together from east to west, in the continent Jambūdvīpa there are declared to be one million four hundred and fifty-six thousand rivers."
"So it is, Venerable Sir! So it is, Venerable Sir!"
