12. In these (continents) men live ten times the full length of human life; they are like unto gods; they are as strong as ten thousand elephants; having an adamantine frame and strength, lasting youthfulness, and unimpaired joys they feel happy; at the close of their long course of great conjugal pleasures their wives show but once signs of pregnancy of a year's duration. There the character of time is like that of Treta Yuga.
