जम्बूद्वीपात्प्रवर्तन्ते रत्नानि विविधान्युत । द्वीपेषु तेषु सर्वेषु प्रजानां कुरुनन्दन॥६-१३-२६॥

From Jambūdvīpa proceed gems of many kinds; and in all those islands, O delight of the Kurus, [they are] available to the peoples.

english translation

विप्राणां ब्रह्मचर्येण सत्येन च दमेन च । आरोग्यायुःप्रमाणाभ्यां द्विगुणं द्विगुणं ततः॥६-१३-२७॥

For Brāhmaṇas, through brahmacarya, truthfulness, and self-restraint, the measures of health and lifespan become doubled—again and again thereafter.

english translation

एको जनपदो राजन्द्वीपेष्वेतेषु भारत । उक्ता जनपदा येषु धर्मश्चैकः प्रदृश्यते॥६-१३-२८॥

There is one polity, O king, in these islands, O Bhārata—those territories that have been described, in which a single dharma is seen to prevail.

english translation

ईश्वरो दण्डमुद्यम्य स्वयमेव प्रजापतिः । द्वीपानेतान्महाराज रक्षंस्तिष्ठति नित्यदा॥६-१३-२९॥

Prajāpati himself, the sovereign lord, raising the staff of authority, stands perpetually protecting these islands, O great king.

english translation

स राजा स शिवो राजन्स पिता स पितामहः । गोपायति नरश्रेष्ठ प्रजाः सजडपण्डिताः॥६-१३-३०॥

He is the king; he is auspicious, O king; he is father, he is grandsire. O best of men, he safeguards the subjects—both the unlearned and the learned.
