Translation
Thereafter, beyond the ocean of sweet water and fully surrounding it, is a mountain named Lokāloka, which divides the countries that are full of sunlight from those not lit by the sun.
Beyond the fresh water ocean (tataḥ) is the Lokāloka Mountain, circular in shape (paritaḥ), is between (antarale) the places with light from the sun and other luminaries, and the places without light. It separates the two areas.

Personal Guidance
Beyond all the inhabited lands, Lokāloka mountain divides light from no-light. Some boundaries are not punishments; they are protections of the order of things. Trust that the limits of your reach exist for reasons larger than your inconvenience.
Reflection Questions
- Where am I straining against a limit that may actually be protecting something?
- Can I accept a closed door as an arrangement rather than a personal rejection?
