## Fifth Canto:
The beings in the eastern direction of the Kalodadhi (ocean) have faces like water, those in the south have ears like horses, those in the west have faces like birds, and those in the Vidiśās (intermediate directions) have faces like pigs. The beings with faces like water in the east have camel-like ears to their south and cow-like ears to their north. On either side of the beings with elephant-like ears and horse-like ears are beings with cat-like faces, and on either side of the beings with bird-like faces are beings with elephant-like faces. Their ears are so long that they use them as blankets and pillows.
At the two ends of the Vijayadhan mountain in the Kalodadhi are beings with faces like crocodiles and those with faces like sharks. At the two ends of the Himavan mountain are beings with faces like wolves and tigers, and at the two ends of the Śikhari mountain are beings with faces like jackals and bears. At the two ends of the Airavata region, which is related to the Vijayadhan mountain, are beings with faces like cheetahs and those with faces like Bhanga (a type of thorny bush). In the outer and inner Jagatī (regions) are beings with faces like cheetahs.
All these beings are similar to the beings of the Lavana (salty) ocean in terms of lifespan, color, houses, food, and movement. These islands are a thousand yojanas deep, and the shore of the ocean where they are located is broken.
These islands in the Kalodadhi are more than five hundred yojanas in length from the entrance. The islands in the directions are located five hundred yojanas from the shore, the islands in the Vidiśās are located five hundred and fifty yojanas from the entrance, and the islands in the Anta-diśās (extreme directions) are located six hundred yojanas from the entrance. The size of all these islands is considered to be twice that of the islands in the Lavana ocean.
There are twenty-four islands in the inner region of the Kalodadhi (near the Dhātakokhaṇḍa) and twenty-four islands in the outer region (near the Puṣkarārdha). Thus, there are forty-eight islands in the Kalodadhi. Together with the forty-eight islands of the Lavana ocean, the total number of islands in the inner region is eighty-nine.
This is the description of the Kalodadhi. Now we will describe the Puṣkar island, which has two Meru mountains in the east and west, is twice the size of the Kalodadhi, and is marked by a large lotus symbol. This Puṣkar island surrounds the Kalodadhi on all sides.
Half of the Puṣkar island is considered to be the boundary of the human region, which is marked by the beings with faces like jackals...
