182 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 7, Ch. 4

which can deliver as much milk as one desires; gévah—cows; nanaé—
various: GScarya- m—wonderful things; nabhah—the sky.

TRANSLATION

As if in fear of Hiranyakasipu, the planet earth, which consists
of seven islands, delivered food grains without being plowed.
Thus it resembled cows like the surabhi of the spiritual world or
the kama-dugha of heaven. The earth yielded sufficient food
grains, the cows supplied abundant milk, and outer space was
beautifully decorated with wonderful phenomena.
