## The Fifth Canto
The first is the Asoka forest, the second the Saptaparna forest, the third the Campaka forest, and the fourth the Amra forest. ||422|| These forests are twelve yojanas long and five hundred yojanas wide. In the middle of these forests are the Asoka, Saptaparna, Campaka, and Amra trees respectively. The girth of these trees is half that of the Jambu tree, and their height is also half that of the Jambu tree. ||423-424|| In the four directions of these four forests are four images of the Jina, made of jewels, worshipped by the gods Asoka and others. ||425|| In the north-east direction of the Asoka forest is the city of Asokapura. In it is the palace of Asoka, whose size is equal to that of Vijayadeva's palace. ||426|| In the east-south direction of the Saptaparna forest is the city of Saptaparnapura. In it is the palace of Saptaparna, which is of the same size as the eastern one. ||427|| In the south-west direction of the Campaka forest is the city of Campakapura, and in the west-north direction of the Amra forest is the city of Amrapura. ||428|| The gods Vijayanta and others, three in number, are the lords of the cities in the south and other directions, and their palaces, air, and families are all like those of Vijayadeva. ||429||
Thus ends the description of Jambudvipa. Now we describe the Salt Ocean.
The Salt Ocean, with its vedika, is two lakh yojanas wide, and it surrounds Jambudvipa like a moat. ||430|| Its circumference is slightly less than fifteen lakh eighty-one thousand one hundred and forty-nine yojanas. ||431|| And its area is eighteen thousand nine hundred and seventy-three crore, sixty-six lakh, fifty-nine thousand six hundred yojanas. ||432-433|| Its width above and below is ten thousand yojanas, its depth is one thousand yojanas, and its height is eleven yojanas. ||434|| The Salt Ocean is one angula deep after going ninety angulas from the shore, one hasta deep after going ninety hastas, and one yojana deep after going ninety yojanas. ||435|| And it is sixteen angulas high after going ninety angulas from the shore, sixteen hastas high after going ninety hastas, and sixteen yojanas high after going ninety yojanas. ||436||
