Sūta said: Atala is white. Tala is black. O men of good holy rites, the extent of all the Talas below is as much as that of the earth, viz., 1000 yojanas each. The sky above each Tala extends to ten thousand yojanas. The magnitude of all the seven along with the clouds is seven thousand lakhs of yojanas. The root (i.e. the space below the last world Pātāla) is thirty thousand yojanas.
