O king, next to Mainaka is that best of mountains called Govinda, next to Govinda is the Nibida mountain. O perpetuator of the Kuru race, the intervening spaces between one another of these mountains increase in the ratio of one to two. I shall speak of the countries that are situated there. Hear as I tell of them.
मैनाकात् परतो राजन् गोविन्दो गिरिरुत्तमः। गोविन्दात् परतो राजन् निबिडो नाम पर्वतः॥ परस्तु द्विगुणस्तेषां विष्कम्भो वंशवर्धन। देशांस्तत्र प्रवक्ष्यामि तन्मे निगदतः शृणु।॥
