तेषामृद्धिर्बहुविधा दृश्यते दैवमानुषी । अशक्या परिसंख्यातुं श्रद्धेया तु बुभूषता॥६-७-५१॥

Their prosperity is seen in many forms—both divine and human. It cannot be fully enumerated; one who seeks understanding should accept it in faithful trust.

english translation

यां तु पृच्छसि मा राजन्दिव्यामेतां शशाकृतिम् । पार्श्वे शशस्य द्वे वर्षे उभये दक्षिणोत्तरे । कर्णौ तु नागद्वीपं च कश्यपद्वीपमेव च॥६-७-५२॥

As for what you ask, O King—this divine land is shaped like a hare: upon the hare’s two flanks lie two regions, one to the south and one to the north; and its two ‘ears’ are Nāgadvīpa and Kaśyapadvīpa.

english translation

ताम्रवर्णः शिरो राजञ्श्रीमान्मलयपर्वतः । एतद्द्वितीयं द्वीपस्य दृश्यते शशसंस्थितम्॥६-७-५३॥

O King, the illustrious Malaya mountain, copper-hued, forms the ‘head’. This is seen as the island’s second feature, arranged in the hare-like configuration.
