[426] The Jivajivabhigamasutra is shaped like a semi-circle. Its diameter [width] is eleven thousand eight hundred forty-two yojanas and one part of a yojana [1184211 yojanas]. Its chord is long from east to west. And it touches the Vaksaskar mountains on both sides. It touches the Vaksaskar mountain on the east side from the east end and the Vaksaskar mountain on the west side from the west end. This chord is fifty-three thousand [53000 yojanas] long. The Dhanushprith of this Uttarakura is sixty thousand four hundred eighteen yojanas and one yojana [604181 yojanas] in the south direction. This Dhanushprith is in the form of a circumference. O Bhagavan! What is the shape and form of Uttarakura? Gautama! The land of Uttarakura is very even and beautiful. That land is as flat as the stretched skin of a Mruj-Mridanga [drum]. All the descriptions should be said according to the statement of the Ekoruk island. O Ayushman Shraman! Those humans are born in Devalok after death. The difference is that their height is six thousand Dhanush [three Kos]. They have two hundred and fifty-six ribs. They feel the desire for food after three days. Their lowest state is three Palyopama and their highest state is three Palyopama. They take care of their offspring for 49 days. The rest should be known like the Ekoruk humans. Six types of humans are born in the Uttarakura region, namely 1. Padmagandha, 2. Mrigagandha, 3. Amam, 4. Sah, 5. Teyalis [Tejasvi] and 6. Shanaischari. Discussion - The Uttarakura region is long from east to west and spread [wide] from north to south. Its structure is like a semi-circle like the eighth moon. Its extent is 1184221 yojanas in the north-south direction. It is fructified in this way - In the Mahavideha region, there is a region called Uttarakura to the north of Meru. To the south is Dakshinakura. Therefore, the extent of the Mahavideha region, minus the extent of the Meru mountain, becomes the extent of the chord. When it is halved, the measure that comes is the extent of Dakshinakura and Uttarakura. The extent of the Mahavideha region is 33684 yojanas. In this, the extent of Meru, 10000 yojanas, should be subtracted, then 236843 remains. When it is divided into two parts, it becomes 11842% yojanas. This is the extent of Uttarakura and Dakshinakura. Its chord [Pratyancha] is extended to the north near the Neel Varshadhar mountain and is long from east to west. It touches the Malavant Vaksaskar mountain from its east end and the Gandhamadana Vaksaskar mountain from its west end. This chord is 53000 [fifty-three thousand] yojanas long. The measure of its length is fructified in this way - The length of each of the Bhadrashal forests in the east and west directions of the Meru mountain is 22000 [twenty-two thousand] yojanas, both together become 44000 yojanas. When the diameter of the Meru mountain, 10000 [ten thousand] yojanas, is added to it, it becomes 54000 [fifty-four thousand] yojanas. From this measure, both 1.
