Third Pratipatti: Description of the Chandradwipas in the Kalodadhi Ocean
The Chandradwipas of the Chandras of the Dhatakirhanda Dwipa are located as follows: From the eastern boundary of the Dhatakirhanda Dwipa, proceeding 12,000 yojanas into the Kalodadhi Ocean, are the Chandradwipas of the Chandras of the Dhatakirhanda Dwipa. (There are 12 Chandras in the Dhatakirhanda Dwipa.) They are elevated two kosas above the water all around. They are 12,000 yojanas in length and breadth. Their circumference, landmass, pavilions, jeweled pedestals, thrones with entourage, names, and capital cities are to be known as before. The capital cities of these Chandras are in the eastern direction in other Dhatakirhanda Dwipas from their own islands. The rest is as before.
Similarly, one should describe the Suryadwipas of the Dhatakirhanda Dwipa. The specialty is that proceeding 12,000 yojanas from the western boundary of the Dhatakirhanda Dwipa into the Kalodadhi Ocean, one reaches these islands. The capital cities of these Suras are in the west of the Suryadwipas, beyond countless island-oceans, in other Dhatakirhanda Dwipas, and the rest is to be known as before.
165. Lord, where are the Chandradwipas of the Chandras in the Kalodadhi Ocean? Gautama, from the eastern boundary of the Kalodadhi Ocean, proceeding 12,000 yojanas westward, are the Chandradwipas of the Chandras in the Kalodadhi Ocean. They are elevated two kosas above the water all around. The rest is to be stated as before, up to the capital cities being in other Kalodadhi Oceans, 12,000 yojanas away in the west of their own islands, and so on.
