“Where, Venerable Sir, are these eight Kṛṣṇarājis declared to be?”
“Gautama!

The eastern-inner Kṛṣṇarāji touches the southern-outer Kṛṣṇarāji; the southern-inner Kṛṣṇarāji touches the western-outer Kṛṣṇarāji; the western-inner Kṛṣṇarāji touches the northern-outer Kṛṣṇarāji; the northern-inner Kṛṣṇarāji touches the eastern-outer Kṛṣṇarāji.
The two outer Kṛṣṇarājis of the east and west are hexagonal; the two outer Kṛṣṇarājis of the north and south are triangular; the two inner Kṛṣṇarājis of the east and west are quadrangular; the two inner Kṛṣṇarājis of the north and south are quadrangular.”
