Venerable one, how many gates does the Pushkarod Ocean have? Gautama, it has four gates. You should state the rest as before, until you reach the eastern boundary of the Pushkarod Ocean and the western part of the eastern half of the Varunavardvipa, where the Vijayadvara of the Pushkarod Ocean is located (you should state everything like the Vijayadvara of Jambudvipa). / Until you reach the capital city in the other Pushkarod Ocean. Similarly, you should state the rest of the gates. The distance between these gates is a hundred thousand yojanas in number. You should also state the details related to the touch of the land and the origin of the living beings as before. Venerable one, why is the Pushkarod Ocean called the Pushkarod Ocean? Gautama, the water of the Pushkarod Ocean is pure, wholesome, of good quality (not mixed with other substances), light, has the brilliance of a crystal gem, and is naturally sweet. Two great deities named Shridhar and Shri Prabha, who are like the moon and the sun, reside there. This makes its water as beautiful as the light is beautified by the moon, the sun, and the planets and stars. / Therefore, it is called Pushkarod, because it is eternal, it is also called by the name of the eternal." Venerable one, how many moons illuminated, illuminate, and will illuminate the Pushkarod Ocean? You should ask the question as before. Gautama, you should state as before that countless moons illuminated, illuminate, and will illuminate it, until you reach countless constellations that adorned, adorn, and will adorn it. 180.
