mārkaṇḍeya uvāca
yattu kimpuruṣaṃ varṣaṃ tat pravakṣyāmyahaṃ dvija /
yatrāyurdaśasāhastraṃ puruṣāṇāṃ vapuṣmatām //
Mārkaṇḍeya spoke:
I will tell thee, O brāhman, what the continent Kimpuruṣa is; where men with real bodies live ten thousand years; where men and women are indeed free from sickness and free from sorrow, and there the fig-tree[1] is called ṣaṇḍa; it grows very high, it is like a grove.[2] Those men are always drinking the juice of its fruit; and the women are born with lasting youthfulness and are fragrant as the lotus.[3]
