Translation
When the devatās and demons saw that Mandara Mountain had been lifted, they were enlivened to churn again. The Lord supported the mountain on his back, which extended for a hundred thousand yojanas. He resembled the great Jambudvīpa situated in the water. Kūrma supported the mountain on his back. He resembled the other great island, Jambudvīpa.
