Next, the marshy [land] is dense with forests of hintāla, tamāla, coconut, and plantain; borders generally on rivers and oceans; is rich in cold winds; has tracts of land bordered by rivers whose banks are covered with groves of vañjula and vānīra; is adorned with mountain thickets; is dense with trees fanned by gentle winds; has tracts of land dense with flowering forests in many rows; is embraced by glossy trees and creepers; has tree branches echoing with geese, cakravākas, cranes, nandīmukhas, puṇḍarīkas, kādambas, madgus, bhṛṅgarājas, woodpeckers, and intoxicated cuckoos; has delicate men; and is to be known as dominated by wind and kapha. And that [land] which has the assemblies of shrubs, forest-trees, trees, birds, and animals of both of these two lands, and whose men are endowed with common qualities—possessing firmness, delicacy, strength, complexion, and compact build—is to be known as common.
