स्थल पथे अपि "हैमवतो दक्षिणा पथात् श्रेयान्, हस्त्य् अश्व गन्ध दन्त अजिन रूप्य सुवर्ण पण्याः सारवत्तराः" इत्य् आचार्याः" ॥

likewise river navigation is better, as it is uninterrupted and is of avoidable or endurable dangers. My teacher says that of land-routes, that which leads to the Himalayas is better than that which leads to the south.

english translation
