## Third Chapter: The Description of Lavanasikha
[15] "The journey of 15 Kadamas is not well-defined. However, the residence of the king of the Nagas, Lavanasikha, is located in the southeast direction, while the residence of the king of the Nagas, Rayahani, is located in the northeast direction. / Similarly, the residence of the king of the Nagas, Kailasa, is located in the southwest direction, while the residence of the king of the Nagas, Rayahani, is located in the southeast direction. / The residence of the king of the Nagas, Arunaprabha, is located in the northwest direction, while the residence of the king of the Nagas, Rayahani, is located in the southeast direction. / All four are of equal measure and are made entirely of jewels.
[160] "O Bhagavan! How many Anuve-landhar Nagarajas (kings of the Nagas who follow the orders of Velandhar) are there? / Gautam! There are four Anuve-landhar Nagarajas, their names are - Karkotaka, Kardama, Kailasa, and Arunaprabha. / O Bhagavan! How many Avasa-parvata (residences) do these four Anuve-landhar Nagarajas have? / Gautam! There are four Avasa-parvata, namely - Karkotaka, Kardama, Kailasa, and Arunaprabha. / O Bhagavan! Where is the Avasa-parvata named Karkotaka, belonging to the Anuve-landhar Nagaraja Karkotaka? / Gautam! In the Jambudvipa, 42,000 yojanas ahead in the Lavanasamudra, in the northeast direction of the Meru Parvata (Mount Meru), is the Avasa-parvata named Karkotaka, belonging to the Nagaraja Karkotaka, which is 1721 yojanas high. The same description should be applied to the Go-stupa Parvata. / The special feature is that it is entirely made of jewels, it is pure, and all the details, including the throne and its surroundings, should be described as before. / The reason for naming it Karkotaka is that the lotuses and other flowers in the wells and other places here are of the same shape and color as the Karkotaka. / The rest should be described as before. / The capital city of Karkotaka is located in the Lavanasamudra, beyond countless islands and seas, in the northeast direction of the Karkotaka Parvata. The measure and other details are the same as before.
[1] "The complete description of the Avasa-parvata named Kardama is the same as before. The special feature is that it is located in the Lavanasamudra, 42,000 yojanas ahead in the southeast direction of the Meru Parvata. / Its capital city is Vidyu-tprabha, which is located in the Lavanasamudra, beyond countless islands and seas, in the southeast direction of this Avasa-parvata. The description should be understood as the same as the capital city of Vijaya. / The complete description of the Avasa-parvata named Kailasa is the same as before. The special feature is that it is located in the southwest direction of the Meru Parvata. / Its capital city is Kailasa, which is located in the Lavanasamudra, beyond countless islands and seas, in the southwest direction of the Kailasa Parvata. / The Avasa-parvata named Arunaprabha is located in the northwest direction of the Meru Parvata. / Its capital city is also located in the Lavanasamudra, beyond countless islands and seas, in the northwest direction of the Arunaprabha Avasa-parvata. The rest of the description is the same as the capital city of Vijaya. / All four Avasa-parvata are of equal measure and are entirely made of jewels.
[1] "The deity of the Kardama Avasa-parvata is naturally Yaksha-kardamapriya. Yaksha-kardama means a fragrant substance made by mixing saffron, agarwood, camphor, musk, sandalwood, etc. / The first part of the word is omitted, hence it is called Kardama."
