To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— The sphere of the whole earth has been described to me, by you, excellent Brahman; and I am now desirous to hear an account of the other spheres (above the world),— the Bhuvar-loka and the rest,— and the situation and the dimensions of the celestial luminaries.
ParaSara. — The sphere of the earth (or Bhiir- loka), comprehending its oceans, mountains, and rivers, extends as far as it is illuminated by the rays of the sun and moon; and to the same extent, both in dia- meter and circumference, t...he sphere of the sky (Bhu- var-loka) spreads above it (as far upwards as to the planetary sphere, or Swar-loka). 1 The solar orb is sit- uated a hundred thousand leagues from the earth; and that of the moon, an equal distance from the sun. At the same interval above the moon occurs the orbit of all the lunar constellations. The planet Budha (Mer- cury) is two hundred thousand leagues above the lunar mansions; Sukra* (Venus) is at the same distance from 1 Bhur-loka, the terrestrial sphere, is earth and the lower re- gions; from thence to the sun is the Bhuvar-loka or atmospheric sphere ; and from the sun to Dhruva is the Swar-loka or heaven : as subsequently, explained in the text, and in other Pur anas.
