In the middle of the summit of Meru is the township of Lord Brahmā. Each of its four sides is calculated to extend for ten million yojanas [eighty million miles]. It is made entirely of gold, and therefore learned scholars and sages call it Śātakaumbhī.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
In the middle of the summit of Meru is the township of Lord Brahmā. Each of its four sides is calculated to extend for many thousands of yojanas. [Note: The top of Sumeru measures 32,000 yojanas according to verse 7. The dimension of Brahmā’s city should thus probably not be 10, 000,000 yojanas or a thousand ayutas. Ayuta could mean “many” in this case. ] It is made entirely of gold, and therefore learned scholars and sages call it Śātakaumbhī.
