卐 [प्र. ] भगवन् ! वह कच्छ विजय नाम क्यों कहा जाता है ? - [उ. ] गौतम ! कच्छ विजय में वैताठ्य पर्वत के दक्षिण में, शीता महानदी के उत्तर में, गंगा ॐ महानदी के पश्चिम में, सिन्धु महानदी के पूर्व में दक्षिणार्धकच्छ विजय के बीचोंबीच उसकी क्षेमा नामक
राजधानी है। उसका वर्णन विनीता राजधानी के सदृश है। क्षेमा राजधानी में कच्छ नामक षट्खण्ड-भोक्ता ॐ चक्रवर्ती राजा समुत्पन्न होता है-वहाँ लोगों द्वारा उसके लिए कच्छ नाम व्यवहृत किया जाता है। 卐 अभिनिष्क्रमण-प्रव्रजन को छोड़कर उसका सारा वर्णन चक्रवर्ती राजा भरत जैसा समझना चाहिए।
कच्छ विजय में परम समृद्धिशाली, एक पल्योपम आयु-स्थिति का कच्छ नामक देव निवास करता है। ॐ गौतम ! इस कारण वह कच्छ विजय कहा जाता है। अथवा उसका कच्छ विजय नाम नित्य है, शाश्वत है।

there. Filled with them, it passes below the Timisra cave, it flows 45 through Vaitadhya mountain and then flows in southern half Kuto
Vijay. There, alongwith 14,000 rivers it goes in the south and joins 41 Sheeta river.

The description up to that it is surrounded by two forests is totally the same as earlier mentioned.
