Translation
If I were not satisfied with three paces of land, then surely I would not be satisfied even with possessing one of the seven islands, consisting of nine varṣas, since I would desire to possess all seven islands. I would not be satisfied with one island with nine varṣas because of a desire for all seven islands.
