In the salt ocean, filled with fearsome crocodiles, there are thousands of extremely inaccessible and beautiful continents. || 152 || In some of these continents, Gandharvas play, in some, groups of Kinnaras, in some, hordes of Yakshas, and in some, Kimpurusha Devas. || 153 || Among these continents, there is a continent called Rakshasa Dweep, which is a place of auspicious play for Rakshasas. It is said to be seven hundred yojanas long and wide. || 154 || In the middle of this Rakshasa Dweep, there is a huge mountain called Trikutachal, similar to Mount Meru. This mountain is extremely difficult to enter and provides refuge to all with its excellent cave-like houses. || 155 || Its peak is as beautiful as the top of Mount Sumeru, nine yojanas high and fifty yojanas wide. || 156 || Its golden shores are always covered with a multitude of various gems, and Kalpavriksha trees, embraced by various creepers, stand there in abundance. || 157 || Below this Trikutachal, there is a city called Lanka, thirty yojanas wide, inhabited by the Rakshasa lineage. Its palaces are made of various gems and gold. || 158 || With its captivating gardens, lotus-filled lakes, and large Jain temples, this city seems like Indrapuri. || 159 || This Lanka city is like an ornament of the southern direction. O Vidyadhar! Go to that city with your relatives and be happy. || 160 || Saying this, the king of the Rakshasas, Bheem, gave him a garland adorned by Devas. This garland was emitting moonlight with its millions of rays. || 161 || He gave him this garland out of love for his son from a previous birth and said, "O Vidyadhar! You are the last-bodied and the best person of this age, therefore, this garland is given to you." || 162 || Besides this garland, he also gave him a natural city hidden within the earth, six yojanas deep and one hundred and thirty-five yojanas and one and a half kalas wide. || 163 || It was impossible for enemies to enter this city, even with their minds. It had large palaces, its name was Alankaroday, and its beauty was like heaven. || 164 || If you are ever attacked by the Parachakra, take refuge in this city and stay safe. This is a secret safe place for your lineage. || 165 || Thus, the king of the Rakshasas, Bheem, 1. Mahee Dweepa: M. 2. Sharan: M. 3. Laya: M. 4. Rasi M., K.
