The space in the firmament studded with the stars is equal in circumference to the magnitude of the entire earth below. In other words, the Earth has the same measurement as the Heaven. To the east of Meru, on the Mânasottara Mountain, is Sâstveka-Sârâ, the city of Mahendra. It is full of gold. To the south of Meru is the city of Dharmarâja, called the Saṃyamana, on the back of the Mânasa Mountain. Vaivasvata Dharmarâja resides there. To the west of Sumeru, on the top of the Mânasâ Mountain, is the fair city of Varuṇa named Suṣâ. North of the Meru, on the top of the Mânâsa Mountain, is the Vibhâvarî city of Moon (Sirnea). It is like the city of Mahendra. To the north of the Mânasâ Mountain, are the Lokapâlas in the four directions, for the propagation of virtue and the protection of the universe. At the time of the Dakṣiṇâyana, the sun travels over the Lokapâlas. Now hear about it. This sun, with the Jyotiśchakra (circle of light?) travels south-wards, at the speed of a swift arrow let loose from the bow.—19-26.
