123.11

kumudaṃ tūttare tasya dvitīyaṃ varṣamuttamam
etau janapadau dvau tu gomedasya tu vistṛtau //

Both the mountains are round in shape, spreading from one end to the other, and are very lofty. To the east of the dvîpa, stands the Mount Sumanâ, while Mount Kumuda is on the west; both extending to the sea by means of offshoots, stretching from the east to the west.—8-9. That region is divided into two parts by the feet of these mountains. Half of the southern portion is known as the Dhâtakî Khaṇḍa, while the northern half is called the Kumuda Khaṇḍa. Both these countries (janapadas) belong to the Gomedadvîpa, and they are of gigantic dimensions.—10-11.
