Sūta said: In the fifth netherworld that is covered with sand and full of gravel is the intelligent Virocana, the lion among Daityas, the abodes of Vaidyuta, Agni-Jihva and that of Hiraṇyākṣa, the city of the intelligent Vidyujjihva, the lord of Rākṣasa, the city of Sahamegha, that of Mālin, the leading Rākṣasa, the city of the serpent Kirmīra and those of Svastika and Jayā. Thus there are thousands of cities of the serpents, Dānavas and the Rākṣasas in the fifth netherworld full of gravel. This should be known (as the situation) for ever.
