[49] yasya ca samīpagānām ālaya-rūpasya kamalasya sarvataś caturasraṃ bhavati, tad idaṃ sarvaṃ vṛndāvanam iti vadanti | tad-bahir-antaraṃ samasta-dīpāyamānaḥ sa

And that quadrangle everywhere around the lotus that forms the dwelling of those nearby—all of this they call Vṛndāvana. Outside and inside that, shining like a continuous island, resembling a great continent, exquisitely attired, the entire realm is called Śvetadvīpa and also Goloka. As for the outer part, boundless like an ocean: there, free from grief, abide co-dwellers whose manifold worlds resemble the earth. But the forests situated on the petals they call the play-Vṛndāvanas. As is said in the Pāñcarātra: “Mahāvṛndāvana is there, as well as the play-Vṛndāvanas.”
