This Ilavritvarsh(Central Asia) is spread around Sumeru for nine thousand yojanas. There are four mountains around it. These four mountains are like nails made by God to hold Sumeru. Mandarachal is in the east, Gandhamadan(In Tibet) is in the south, Vipul is
in the west and Suparshv is in the north. All these are ten thousand yojanas high. Like the flags of the mountains, there are eleven-eleven hundred yojanas high burflower, blackberry, peepal and banyan trees respectively. Among them the Jambu (blackberry) tree is the
reason for the name of Jambudweep. When they fall on the mountain, they burst and spread everywhere. The famous river named Jambu, which came out of his juice, flows there, whose water is drunk by the divine/semidivine people living there.
By drinking it, the pure minded people there do not have sweat, odour, old age or loss of senses. When the clay on its side mixes with that juice, it dries up with a slow wind.
