[343 In the context of the Tiryanchlok, the statement of the Island-Ocean] [123. "Where, O Blessed One, are the Island-Oceans situated?" "How many, O Blessed One, are the Island-Oceans?" "How large, O Blessed One, are those Island-Oceans?" "What is the shape, O Blessed One, of those Island-Oceans?" "What is the nature of their shape, O Blessed One?" "Gautama, the Island beginning with Jambudvipa and the Ocean beginning with the Salt Ocean, are all of one shape, being circular. They are of many kinds in terms of their extent, being twice as large as the previous one, with waves appearing, adorned with many lotuses, padmas, kumudas, nalins, beautiful, fragrant, pundarikas, maha-pundarikas, satapatras, sahasrapatras, with their blooming pollen, each surrounded by a lotus-platform, and each surrounded by a forest-section. O Ayushman Shraman, in this Tiryanchlok, there are countless Island-Oceans, extending up to the Swayambhuraman Ocean." [123]
