The central portion within the seven islands which are situated as circular coverings in the lotus of Bhū-maṇḍala, which is for certain this visible Jambūdvīpa, is 100,000 yojanas (niyuta) wide and is circular like a lotus leaf.

the central portion (kośa) within the seven islands situated as circular coverings (kośa) in the lotus of Bhū-maṇḍala (kuvalaya)-- which is for certain (vai) this visible Jambūdvīpa-- is 100,000 yojanas (niyuta) wide.

yasmin nava varṣāṇi nava-yojana-sahasrāyāmāny aṣṭabhir maryādā-giribhiḥ suvibhaktāni bhavanti.

In Jambūdvīpa there are nine divisions of land, each extending to a width of 9,000 yojanas,[34] completely separated by eight mountain ranges.

Āyāmaṇ here means the length. The mountain ranges include the Himālayas. The form is described in the Vāyu Purāṇa:

 

dhanurvat saṁsthite jñeye dve varṣe dakṣiṇottare

dīrghāṇi tatra catvāri caturasram ilāvṛtam

Two varṣas on the north and south are bow-shaped. Four other varṣas are long and Ilāvṛta is square.

 

The varṣa in the south is Bhārata and that in the north is Uttarakuru. The four long varṣas are Kuṁpuruṣa, Harivarṣa, Ramyaka and Hiranmayāni. Bhadrāśva and Ketumāla are also shaped like bows, bordered by Nīla and Niṣadha mountain ranges running horizontally and entering the sea. Their width is nine thousand yojanas except for Ketumāla and Bhadraśva in the middle. Ilāvṛta is nine thousand yojanas in all four directions from Meru (which has a 16,000 yojana base). Ilāvrta, Bhadrāśva and Ketumālā are thus 34,000 yojanas in width (16,000 + 9000, + 9000).

 

 

|| 5.16.7 ||

eṣāṁ madhye ilāvṛtaṁ nāmābhyantara-varṣaṁ yasya nābhyām avasthitaḥ sarvataḥ sauvarṇaḥ kula-giri-rājo merur dvīpāyāma-samunnāhaḥ karṇikā-bhūtaḥ kuvalaya-kamalasya mūrdhani dvā-triṁśat sahasra-yojana-vitato mūle ṣoḍaśa-sahasraṁ tāvat āntar-bhūmyāṁ praviṣṭaḥ.

In the center of these is Ilāvṛta, in the center of which is Meru, the king of mountains, made of gold, whose height is the length of Jambūdvīpa, and which acts as the pericarp of the lotus. At its top it measures 32,000 yojanas and at the base 16,000 yojanas. It extends 16,000 yojanas within the earth.

Nābhyām means inside. The island is 100,000 yojanas long. That is the height of the mountain. At the base it spreads out for 16,000 yojanas. Since it extends 16,000 yojanas within the earth, 84,000 yojanas of Meru are visible above the ground.
