Eka-bhūmaṁ dvi-bhūmaṁ vā kshudrāṇāṁ bhavanaṁ nṛiṇām ।
Śūdrāṇāṁ tri-talaṁ kuryād vaiśyānāṁ tu chatus-talam ॥
Kshatriyādeḥ pañcha-bhumir dvijānāṁ rāga-bhūmikam ॥
Saptāḍhyaṁ maṇḍalikānāṁ bhū-bhujāṁ nava-bhūmikam ॥
Ekādaśa-tala-gehaṁ vidadhyāch chakra-varttinām ॥
Udayārkārka-bhāgena hīnā ūrdhordhva-bhūmikāḥ ॥
