saptadvīpasamudrāyā vistāro maṇḍalasya tu
ityetadiha saṃkhyātaṃ purāṇe parimāṇataḥ //
The moon is twice as much bigger in circumference and diameter than the sun (?). I shall now repeat the measurements in yôjanas of the terrestrial globe, comprising the seven dvîpas and the seven oceans, as enumerated in the Purâṇas. I shall now speak of the Sâmpratas and the Abhimanîs (?) The abhimanî Devas of past ages are equal (in number ?) to the Sampratas, in form and name. Therefore I shall describe the surface of the Earth and the Samprata (present ?) Devas.—8-11.
