जलैर्गुडगुडायन्त्यो नद्यो नाड्यः सरिद्रसः ।

jalairguḍaguḍāyantyo nadyo nāḍyaḥ saridrasaḥ |
jambūdvīpaṃ hṛdambhojamasya hemādrikarṇikam || 12 ||

The rivers with the purling waters in them, resemble the arteries of Virat with the purple blood running in them; and the Jam-bu-dvipa is as his lotiform heart, with the mount Meru as its pericarp.
