ARASARA said :— The extent of the earth has beert related to you by me. I have also said, O twiae-born one, that the depth belew the surface is seventy thousand Yoyanas. foreraost of Munis, each of the seven regions of Pátala, extends over ten thousand Yoyanas. They are seven in number— namely Atala, Vitala, Nitala, Gavastimat, Malmtala, Sutalaand PátSla. Thus soil is severally white, black, pvsrple, yellow, sandy, stony and of gold. They are adomed with numberless palaces in which reside Danavas, Daityas, Yakshas and serpents by hundreds, great Muni. Once on a time Narada, afteí coming back to heaven from these regions, declared amongst tlie gods that Patala was much more charm- ing than heaven. He exclaimed " What can be compared with Patila where Nagas are adorned with beautiful and brilliant and pleasure-diffusing gems? This region is embellished with the daughters ot Daityas and Danavas. Who does not find delight in Patala? Even those who have letired from the world find delight therein. By day, the rays of the sun diffuse joy and not heat ; by night the moon diffuses illumination and not cold. There the sons of Danu, alway* fappy in the enjoyment of sweet foods and good wines, do not know how the time glides avvay. There are many charm- ir»<» forests, tivers and ponds abounding in lotuses aind the skies are resonant with the Koil's song, Charming omaments, fragrant perfumes, ungents, tHesweet rousicof the lute, pipc aitd tabor are always enjoyed by the Daityas,- Danavas and- serpents who dwell in the regions of Patala.
