60.4

ataḥ paraṃ kiṃpuruṣāddharivarṣaṃ pracakṣyate /
mahārajatasaṅkāśā jāyante tatra mānavāḥ //

Next to Kimpuruṣa is mentioned Harivarṣa. There mankind are born of the appearance of gold; they all descend there from the world of the gods, and are shaped like the gods in all respects. In Harivarṣa all the men quaff fine sugar-cane juice; neither old age afflicts them there, nor do they suffer from decay at all; and they live in truth for the whole of their time free from sickness.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
