Listen, the five senses of the sentient beings, the five senses of the non-sentient beings, and the nine breaths of the non-sentient beings are described. The sentient beings with five senses live with the ten breaths of the six senses, touch, sight, and hearing, mind, speech, body, tongue, smell, and inhalation-exhalation, and life. I describe them in many ways that are difficult to see. There are five types of aquatic creatures: fish, crocodiles, turtles, tortoises, and dolphins. There are also three types of aerial creatures: those with compact, scattered, and distorted wings. Others have thick skin and reverse wings. There are four types of terrestrial quadrupeds: one-hoofed, two-hoofed, elephants, and those with dog-like paws. What about the land snakes, the great snakes, and the pythons? An elephant fits in their belly. The types of snakes are also described with their differences. They are called Sar, Dhundhar, and Godha.
The aquatic creatures live in water, the aerial creatures live in trees and mountains, and the terrestrial creatures live in villages and towns. The first island, as described by the Jains, is located between the island and the ocean. 12.

Considering the previous mathematical limits, the Jambudvipa, which is extremely vast and extends for one hundred thousand yojanas, is a vast island that holds countless islands and a ring of excellent oceans. It is followed by the Dhataki Khand, Pushkarvardvipa, Varuni Dvipa, Kshiravardvipa, Dhritavardvipa, Madhuvardvipa (Ikshuvardvipa), Nandishvardvipa, Arunavardvipa, Arunabhas, Kundal Dvipa, Shankhavardvipa, Ruchakavardvipa, Bhujagavardvipa, Kushgavardvipa, and Kraunchavardvipa. These islands and oceans are twice as large and reveal their own size. These islands are inhabited by non-sentient beings. Now I will describe the size of the bodies of the aquatic, terrestrial, aerial, and disabled and five-sensed beings. A lotus (padma) is one thousand yojanas in size.
