5.20.24

evaṃ purastāt kṣīrodāt parita upaveśitaḥ śākadvīpo dvātriṃśal-lakṣa-yojanāyāmaḥ samānena ca dadhi-maṇḍodena parīto yasmin śāko nāma mahīruhaḥ sva-kṣetra-vyapadeśako yasya ha mahā-surabhi-gandhas taṃ dvīpam anuvāsayati //

24. Similarly, beyond the sea of milk lies about the Sakadwipa thirty-two lakhs of yojanas in extent, surrounded by the sea of curds equal in extent to itself; here stands the great tree Saka giving its name to the land where it grows; and its overpowering fragrance perfumes the Dwipa.
