"Where, venerable sir, is Jambūdvīpa island? How large, venerable sir, is Jambūdvīpa island? What is the shape, venerable sir, of Jambūdvīpa island? What form and configuration, venerable sir, is Jambūdvīpa island declared to have?"
"O Gautama! This Jambūdvīpa island is the innermost of all islands and oceans, the smallest of all; round, shaped like a circle of oil-cake; round, shaped like the perimeter of a chariot-wheel; round, shaped like a lotus pericarp; round, shaped like the full moon; it is one hundred thousand yojanas in length and breadth, and three hundred sixteen thousand two hundred twenty-seven yojanas, three krośas, one hundred twenty-eight dhanus, and thirteen and a half aṅgulas and a fraction more in circumference.
