tatrāpi sthalam audakaṃ veti mahataḥ sthalād alpam audakaṃ śreyaḥ, sātatyād avasthitatvāc ca phalānām //
Which is better for colonization: a plain or watery land?
A limited tract of land with water is far better than a vast plain, inasmuch as the former is conducive to the growth of crops and fruits throughout the year.
