As in an oil-pressing machine, this first axle is attached to a second axle, which is one-fourth as long [3,937,500 yojanas, or 31,500,000 miles]. The upper end of this second axle is attached to Dhruvaloka by a rope of wind.

Translation
As in an oil-pressing machine, the first axle is attached to a second axle, which is one fourth as long. The upper end of this second axle is attached to Dhruvaloka.
There is a second axel bound to first part of the first axel (kṛtamūlaḥ) with the wheel at its end. Its length is one quarter of the first axel or 3,937,500 yojanas. [Note: The first axel is then 15,750,000 yojanas long. This is the distance from Meru to the middle of Mānasottara. According to SB 5.23.1, Dhruvaloka are 3,900,000 yojanas above the earth.] It is bound to the first exactly opposite to the salt water ocean. Because the second axel is shorter than the first axel, its other end is bound to Dhruvaloka by a rope of wind.
