[Samvayanga Sutra]
**Discussion:** The western part of Jambudvipa is 55,000 yojanas away from the eastern part of Mount Meru. From there, Gautamdvipa is located 12,000 yojanas westwards within the Lavanasamudra. Therefore, the eastern part of Gautamdvipa is located (55 + 12 = 68) 68,000 yojanas away from the eastern part of Meru, thus proving the said distance.
**338:** All the constellations are said to be equal in terms of their **sima-vikkhambha** [the area that can be covered by the moon in a day and night] when divided into 68 parts.

**339:** In the Dhaataki-khand dvipa, 68 **chakravattis** are said to have 68 **vijayas** (regions) and 68 capitals. In terms of **ukkosapada**, 68 **arhanta** have been born, are being born, and will be born. Similarly, **chakravatti**, **baladeva**, and **vasudeva** should also be known.

**340:** In the Pushkaravaradvipaardha, 68 **vijayas** and 68 capitals are said to be there. There, 68 **arhanta** have been born, are being born, and will be born in **ukkosapada**. Similarly, **chakravatti**, **baladeva**, and **vasudeva** should also be known.
**Discussion:** Since Mount Meru is located in the middle, the Mahavideha region of Jambudvipa is divided into two parts - the eastern Mahavideha and the western Mahavideha. Then, due to the flow of the Sita river in the east and the Sitoda river in the west, they are further divided into two parts each. Generally, one **tirthankara**, one **chakravatti**, one **baladeva**, and one **vasudeva** are born in each of these four regions. Therefore, at one time, there are four **tirthankara**, four **chakravatti**, four **baladeva**, and four **vasudeva** born. When these four regions are divided by three **antarnadis** and four mountains each, they become 32 regions. These are conquered by the **chakravatti**. Therefore, they are called **vijayadesha** and the **chakravatti** resides in them, hence they are called capitals. Thus, there are a total of 32 **vijayakshetra** and capitals in the Mahavideha of Jambudvipa. By combining the Bharat and Airavat regions, which are two **vijayas** and two capitals, their number becomes 34. The number of **vijayas** and capitals in Dhaataki-khand dvipa and Pushkaravaradvipaardha is double that of Jambudvipa, therefore (34 x 2 = 68) their number becomes 68.
