To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
* The waters of the sea in which the "VYalabhamukha is formed, rise up towards the sky, appearing in all directions like a lake with its embankments broken down. When the waters thus rise, one side appears like a precipice, and the other like a valley ; and they rush impetuously towards the Aswakanna and Sakwala rock. They rise in waves the height of ten or a hundred miles, causing a hollow like the infernal regions, and making a noise sufficient to break the drum of the ear. There is a great w...hirlpool in one part of the sea. It is thus caused : the gates of the Awichi hell (underneath Jambudipa), are continually opening and shutting, by which a great flame arises, so that the water boils for many miles below the surface, which is thereby greatly agitated. It is this terrible place that is called Walabhamukha. F The waters become deeper as they recede from the continents, on both sides, gradually, according to the following scale ; an inch, two inches, a span, a cubit, a yashtiya, an isba, a half gawuta, a gawuta, a half j^ojana, a yojana, and so on, until, near Maha Meru they are 840, 000 miles deep, and near tlic Sakwala rock 820, 000 miles.
