Hiraat
7 T: 33: 19
after you have covered an innumerable number of yojanas, you have the great viniāna named Sandhyāprabha, which belongs to Mahārāja Soma, the Lokapāla of Sakra, the Indra of the gods, their king. Its length and breadth are 12,50,000 yojanas in each direction, and its circumference is slightly more than 39,52,848 yojanas. Other details...till coronation are the same as that of Sūryābha, the difference being that 'Somadeva' is to be used in place of “Şūryābha'. Just straight beneath the great vimāna named Sandhyāprabha, on the same side and in the same direction, at a distance of an innumerable number of yojanas down is located Somā, the metropolis of Mahārāja Soma, the Lokapāla of Sakra, the Indra of the gods, their king. The length and breadth of this capital city are 1,00,000 yojanas in each direction, and it is as big as Jambu-dvipa. The fortress, etc., of this capital-city have dimentions which are half of those of the Vaimānika gods, and so...till the construction of the backside of the fortress. The dimensions of the structure in the backside are 16,000 yojanas in each direction. Its circumference is slightly more than 50,597 yojanas. The four palaces need be stated in order, no more.
सक्कस्स णं देविंदस्स देवरण्णो सोमस्स महारण्णो इमे देवा आणा-उववाय-वयण-णिद्देसे चिठेति तं जहा-सोमकाइयाइ वा सोमदेवकाइयाइ वा विज्जुकुमारा विज्जुकुमारीओ अग्गिकुमारा अग्गिकुमारीओ वायुकुमारा वायुकुमारीओ चंदा सुरा गहा णक्खत्ता तारारूवा-जे यावणे तहप्पगारा सव्वे ते तब्भत्तिया तप्पक्खिया तव्भारिया सक्कस्स देविंदस्स देवरणो सोमस्य महारणो आणा-उववाय-वयण-णिदेसे चिट्ठति ।
The follwing gods take orders from, live in the proximity of, and obey the words and directions of Mahārāja Soma, the Lokapāla of Sakra, the Indra of the gods, their king :
