Passing round the Meru mountains comes to the country of the northern Kurus. If that juice is drunk, it gives peace of mind. No thirst is ever after felt. O king, old age never comes. A kind of gold called Jambunada is also produced there. They are used in making celestial weapons. They are very shining and look like the Indragopaka insccts. The men born there possess the complexion of the morning sun.
मेरुं प्रदक्षिणं कृत्वा सम्प्रयात्युत्तरान् कुरून्।॥ तत्र तेषां मन:शान्तिन पिपासा जनाधिप। तस्मिन् फलरसे पीते न जरा बाधते च तान्॥ तत्र जाम्बूनदं नाम कनकं देवभूषणम्। इन्द्रगोपकसंकाशं जायते भास्वरं तु तत्॥ तरुणादित्यवर्णाश्च जायन्ते तत्र मानवाः।
