20 // [ Gautama! There are islands called Chandra-dvipas, belonging to the inner Lavana-chandra, in the Lavana-samudra, twelve thousand yojanas east of Mount Meru in Jambudvipa. / Their description should be similar to that of the Chandra-dvipas of Jambudvipa. / The only difference is that their capitals are in another Lavana-samudra, otherwise everything else should be described as before. Similarly, the Surya-dvipas, belonging to the inner Lavana-surya, are located in the Lavana-samudra, twelve thousand yojanas away. All the descriptions, including the capitals, should be known to be similar to those of the Chandra-dvipas. O Bhagavan!

These islands are twelve thousand yojanas long and wide, with a lotus-like platform, forest areas, beautiful landscapes, gem-studded platforms, thrones with families, and names. Their capitals are located in another Lavana-samudra, after crossing countless islands and seas in a transverse direction east of their respective islands. All these descriptions should be known as before. O Bhagavan! Where are the islands called Surya-dvipas, belonging to the outer Lavana-surya? Gautama!
