Sūta said: Its situation from an upword measure (?)is as far as the Meru. Half the extent of the earth is stated in terms of Yojanas. The extent of the earth towards all the sides (quarters) from the middle of the Meru is remembered as one crore and eighty-nine lakhs (of Yojanas) and fifty thousand. Hence, the extent of the circular section of the earth is roughly eleven crores and thirty-seven lakhs. This is reckoned as the extent of the surface of the Earth.
