The salt sea · the lesser pots
The 7,884 small vessels
क्षुद्र पाताल
Seven thousand eight hundred and eighty-four lesser jars, a hundred yojana at the mouth, scattered through the salt sea on the same three-part plan as the four great ones.
The four great vessels are not alone. 7,884 small pātālas stand in the floor of Lavaṇa, each 100 yojana across the mouth, and each divided like the great ones — wind below, wind and water between, water above.
Their depth the sources reached do not give, and it is not drawn to any figure here. Their number is: the same texts that count the stars in koṭākoṭi count these to the last four.
