[381 [135] (1) O Bhagavan! Where is the capital city of Vijayadev, called Vijaya, located? Gautama! After crossing countless islands and seas diagonally east of Vijayadwar, in another island called 'Jambudvipa', after traveling twelve thousand yojanas, lies the capital city of Vijayadev, Vijaya, which is twelve thousand yojanas long and wide, and its circumference is slightly more than one hundred and nine thousand nine hundred and forty-eight yojanas. The city of Vijaya is surrounded on all sides by a rampart (fortification). The rampart is thirty-seven and a half yojanas high, its diameter (width) is twelve and a half yojanas at the base, six yojanas and one kos in the middle, and three yojanas and half a kos at the top; thus it is wide at the base, narrow in the middle, and thin at the top. It is round on the outside and square on the inside, shaped like a cow's tail. It is entirely made of gold, clean and perfect. The rampart is adorned with various types of five-year-old Kapishirshakas (gargoyles), such as black and white gargoyles. These gargoyles are half a kos in length, five hundred dhanus in width, and slightly less than half a kos in height. These gargoyles are entirely made of gems, clean and perfect. 135. (2) In the capital city of Vijaya, there are twenty-five hundred gates on each side, according to the scriptures. These gates are thirty-three yojanas and one kos high, thirty-three yojanas and one kos wide, and the same length in depth. They are made of white metal, clean and perfect. They are adorned with various types of five-year-old Kapishirshakas (gargoyles), such as black and white gargoyles. These gargoyles are half a kos in length, five hundred dhanus in width, and slightly less than half a kos in height. These gargoyles are entirely made of gems, clean and perfect. 135.
