Just as, O Lord! there are many heavy clouds that get moistened, that get mingled and that shower rain in the Lavana Ocean, so also are there many heavy clouds that get moistened, that get mingled together and shower rain in the external oceans?
Gautama! this is not possible.

Gautama! as many as there are in this world, auspicious names, auspicious colours (and forms), auspicious smells and auspicious touches, so are the continents and oceans propounded through nomenclature. In this way are to be understood the auspicious names, uddhāra samayas (ie., the number
