Text 26] A Description of Jambiadvipa 115
agriculture. How can the people be happy? They must suffer from all the
misery of materialism. Their bodies become wrinkled and gradually
deteriorate until they become almost like dwarves, and a bad odor ema-
nates from their bodies because of unclean perspiration resulting from
eating all kinds of nasty things.. This is not human civilization. If people
actually want happiness in this life and want to prepare for the best in
the next life, they must adopt a Vedic civilization. In a Vedic civilization,
there isa full supply of all the necessities mentioned above.
