Translation

Traducción

Outside the Ocean of Milk is another island, Śākadvīpa, which has a width of 3,200,000 yojanas [25,600,000 miles]. As Krauñcadvīpa is surrounded by its own ocean of milk, Śākadvīpa is surrounded by an ocean of churned yogurt as broad as the island itself. In Śākadvīpa there is a big śāka tree, from which the island takes its name. This tree is very fragrant. Indeed, it lends its scent to the entire island.

Más allá del océano de leche hay otra isla, Śākadvīpa, cuya anchura es de 3 200 000 yojanas [41 260 000 kilómetros]. Del mismo modo que Krauñcadvīpa está rodeada por su océano de leche, Śākadvīpa está rodeada por un océano de yogur batido, tan ancho como la propia isla. En Śākadvīpa crece un gran árbol śāka, del cual recibe la isla su nombre. Es un árbol muy fragante. En verdad, la isla entera está perfumada con su aroma.
