TRANSLATION

Outside the ocean of clarified butter is another island, known as
Krauficadvipa, which has a width of 1,600,000 yojanas [12,800,-
000 miles], twice the width of the ocean of clarified butter. As
KuSadvipa is surrounded by an ocean of clarified butter,
Krauficadvipa is surrounded by an ocean of milk as broad as the is-
land itself. On Kraujicadvipa there is a great mountain known as
Kraunica, from which the island takes its name.
