30. In the middle of this Dwipa rises but one mountain Manasothara by name, forming the boundary of the two continents, east and west, into which it is divided; it is ten thousand yojanas both in length and breadth; and there, in the four directions, there are four cities belonging to Indra and other gods, gaurdians of the world; being fixed on to its top rotates, round the Meru, in the space of a day and a night of the celestials, the wheel of the sun's chariot, which makes the year.
