There is a region two hundred yojanas long and one hundred yojanas in breadth located between the Kapiñjala and Nāgaśaila mountains. It is full of forests containing different varieties of fruit and flowers. Here Kinnaras and Uragas reside. There are beautiful ‘Drākṣā-vana’, ‘Nāgavana’, ‘Kharjūravana’, ‘Nila’, ‘Aśokavana’, ‘Kadalivana’, tasty pomegranate ‘vana’, ‘Akhrote vana’, ‘Atasi Tilaka-vana’, and beautiful ‘Badarivana’. That land is also drained by fresh and cool water rivers.
