uttarottareṇelāvṛtaṁ nīlaḥ śvetaḥ śṛṅgavān iti trayo ramyaka-hiraṇmaya-kurūṇāṁ varṣāṇāṁ maryādā-girayaḥ prāg-āyatā ubhayataḥ kṣārodāvadhayo dvi-sahasra-pṛthava ekaikaśaḥ pūrvasmāt pūrvasmād uttara uttaro daśāṁśādhikāṁśena dairghya eva hrasanti.

Just north of Ilāvṛta-varṣa—and going further northward, one after another—are three mountains named Nīla, Śveta and Śṛṅgavān. These mark the borders of the three varṣas named Ramyaka, Hiraṇmaya and Kuru and separate them from one another. The width of these mountains is 2,000 yojanas. Lengthwise, they extend east and west to the ocean of salt water. The length of each mountain decreased by a little more than 10% compared to the previous mountain.

North of Ilāvrṭa are the mountain ranges starting with Nīla. The mountains extend on the east and west (ubhayataḥ) to the salt ocean. The mountains after Nīla become shorter than 100,000 yojanas by a little over 10% each.

evaṁ dakṣiṇenelāvṛtaṁ niṣadho hemakūṭo himālaya iti prāg-āyatā yathā nīlādayo 'yuta-yojanotsedhā hari-varṣa-kimpuruṣa-bhāratānāṁ yathā-saṅkhyam.

Similarly, south of Ilāvṛta-varṣa and extending from east to west are three great mountains named Niṣadha, Hemakūṭa and Himālaya. Each of them is 10,000 yojanas high, similar to Nīla and the rest. They mark the boundaries of the three varṣas named Hari-varṣa, Kimpuruṣa-varṣa and Bhārata-varṣa.

They are 10,000 yojanas in height. Nīla and the other mountains to the north of Ilāvṛta are the same height. The width of these mountains is the same as Nīla. They mark the boundaries respectively of the varṣas.

tathaivelāvṛtam apareṇa pūrveṇa ca mālyavad-gandhamādanāv ānīla-niṣadhāyatau dvi-sahasraṁ paprathatuḥ ketumāla-bhadrāśvayoḥ sīmānaṁ vidadhāte.

In the same way, west and east of Ilāvṛta-varṣa are two great mountains named Mālyavān and Gandhamādana respectively. These two mountains, which are 2,000 yojanas high, extend as far as Nīla Mountain in the north and Niṣadha in the south. They produce the borders of the varṣas known as Ketumāla and Bhadrāśva.

In the west (apareṇa) and east directions extend in length to Nīla in the north and Niṣadha in the south. They are 34,000 yojanas in length. In a line from south to north, Bharata, Kiṁpuruṣa and Harivarṣa are 27,000 yojanas in total (9000 each in width). The mountains Himālaya, Hemakūṭa and Niṣadhā, each 2000 yojanas, make 6000 yojanas in total. Sumeru and Ilāvṛta are 34,000 yojanas wide. Ramyaka, Hiraṇmaya and Kuru are 27,000 yojanas in total. Nīla, Śveta and Śṛṅgavān are at total of 6000 yojanas. The total comes to 100,000 yojanas. Measuring from east to west, Bhadrāśva is 31,000 yojanas, Sumeru and Ilāvṛta are 34,000 yojanas and Ketumāla is 31,000 yojanas. The Gandhamādana and Mālyavān mountains are 4000 yojanas each. The total across is also 100,000 yojanas.

mandaro merumandaraḥ supārśvaḥ kumuda ity ayuta-yojana-vistāronnāhā meroś catur-diśam avaṣṭambha-giraya upakÿptāḥ.

On the four sides of the great mountain known as Sumeru are four mountains-Mandara, Merumandara, Supārśva and Kumuda—which are supporting mountains. The length and height of these mountains are calculated to be 10,000 yojanas.

The length (vistāra) and height of the supporting mountains is 10,000 yojanas. Since they act as the support of Meru in the center, the mountains on the east and west side of Meru run south and north in length, and the mountains on the north and south run east and west. If each mountain was 10,000 yojanas wide, Ilāvṛta would disappear (since it is only 9000 yojanas on either side of Meru.) This would contradict the descriptions in SB 5.16.16 stating that juice cascades from the Mandara Mountain in waterfalls and becomes a river called Aruṇodā, which flows pleasantly through the eastern side of Ilāvṛta. Vistāra here means length. They spread out in the four directions (catur-diśam).

caturṣv eteṣu cūta-jambū-kadamba-nyagrodhāś catvāraḥ pādapa-pravarāḥ parvata-ketava ivādhi-sahasra-yojanonnāhās tāvad viṭapa-vitatayaḥ śata-yojana-pariṇāhāḥ.

Standing like flagstaffs on the summits of these four mountains starting with Mandara are a mango tree, a rose apple (jambū) tree, a kadamba tree and a banyan tree. Those trees are calculated to have a width of 100 yojanas and a height of 1,100 yojanas. Their branches also spread out for a length of 1,100 yojanas.

Their height is over a thousand, meaning 1100 yojanas and their branches spread out that length. The width is 100 yojanas.

hradāś catvāraḥ payo-madhv-ikṣurasa-mṛṣṭa-jalā yad-upasparśina upadeva-gaṇā yogaiśvaryāṇi svābhāvikāni bharatarṣabha dhārayanti; devodyānāni ca bhavanti catvāri nandanaṁ caitrarathaṁ vaibhrājakaṁ sarvatobhadram iti.

O Mahārāja Parīkṣit, best of the Bharata dynasty! On these four mountains are four huge lakes, filled with milk, honey, sugarcane juice, and pure water respectively. The celestial beings such as the Siddhas, Cāraṇas and Gandharvas who use those waters naturally possess perfections of mystic yoga. There are also four celestial gardens named Nandana, Caitraratha, Vaibhrājaka and Sarvatobhadra.

|| 5.16.15 ||

yeṣv amara-parivṛḍhāḥ saha sura-lalanā-lalāma-yūtha-pataya upadeva-gaṇair upagīyamāna-mahimānaḥ kila viharanti.

Parivṛddhāḥ means the best. Lalāma means ornament.
