This country has been named Jambudvipa after the name of this tree. O best of the Bharata race, O ruler of men, this tree is in height one thousand and one hundred Yojanas. It touches the very heavens. The circumference of a fruit of that free which bursts by itself when ripe is eleven thousand and five hundred cubits. In falling on the ground, they make a very loud noise.
तस्य नाम्ना समाख्यातो जम्बूद्वीप: सनातनः॥ योजनानां सहस्रं च शतं च भरतर्षभ। उत्सेधो वृक्षराजस्य दिवस्पृङ्मनुजेश्वरः॥ अरत्नीनां सहस्रं च शतानि दश पञ्च च। परिणाहस्तु वृक्षस्य फलानां रसभेदिनाम्॥ पतमानानि तान्युर्वी कुर्वन्ति विपुलं स्वनम्।
