Ocean · tastes of sugarcane juice

Ikṣuvaroda

इक्षुवरोद

81,92,00,000 yojana of sugarcane juice, and the last thing between the world and Nandīśvara.

The fourth flavoured ocean, and by a long way the largest of them. Every ocean beyond it is ordinary water again, all the way to the end.

Its outer shore is the inner shore of Nandīśvara.
