## Fifth Canto
Two hundred thousand and twenty-seven thousand yojanas is the distance between them. Seventy-seven less than a hundred yojanas is the separate distance of each. ||450||
In all four directions, there are four *kshudra patala* (small netherworlds) with a thousand yojanas at the top and bottom, and ten thousand yojanas in the middle. ||451||
The width of the walls of these four is fifty yojanas, and each has three parts, with water and air in harmony as before. ||452||
Each of the three parts is three thousand three hundred and thirty yojanas, and one part is one-third of a yojana. ||453||
The distance between the *patala* in the directions and sub-directions is one hundred thousand and thirteen thousand eighty-five yojanas. ||454||
In the eight intervals between these eight *patala* in the salt ocean, there are a thousand *kshudra patala*, which appear beautiful like a string of pearls. ||455||
The depth of these *kshudra patala* is one thousand yojanas, and the width is one thousand yojanas in the middle, and one hundred yojanas at the top and bottom. ||456||
These *kshudra patala* are one hundred and twenty-five each in the intervals, and the distance between them is seven hundred and eighty-nine yojanas and a little more than one *krosa*. ||457||
These groups of *patala* are called *kshudra patala* because water enters and exits them as needed. ||458||
Going forty-two thousand yojanas from the shore, there are two mountains in each of the four directions, each a thousand yojanas high. ||459||
On either side of the *patala* in the east are two silver mountains, *Kaustubha* and *Kaustubhas* shaped like half-domes. Their presiding deities (Udak and Udavas) are as glorious as Vijayadeva. ||460||
Near the *Kadambaka patala* in the south are two mountains, *Udak* and *Udavas*. Their presiding deities are Shiva and Shivadeva respectively. ||461||
Near the *Badvamukha patala* in the west are two mountains, *Shankha* and *Mahashankha*. Their presiding deities are Shiva and Shivadeva, who are as glorious as Shankha. ||462||
Near the *Bhupakesara patala* in the north are two mountains, *Udak* and *Udavas*. Their presiding deities are Rohit and Lohithank. ||463||
