The populated part of
the world is situated in the very
centre of the earth. The hot and
cold conditions on its two sides, namely North and South have gradually become moderate by the time they touch this middle stretch.
That is why this central or fourth realm is much populated and moderate while the third and the fifth
realms are nearer to moderate. The realms neighboring them also have
caught this feature of moderateness. The
first and the seventh realms are minimally moderated. Therefore, moderate
realms are characterized by knowledge, art
and culture. The dwellers of the first realm live in forests and caves
feeding on grass and leaves. They dislike unity
and fellow feeling. They are of
beastly nature like desert animals. They have no religion or faith. They neither
recognize God, nor prophet. All this is the outcome of immoderate
conditions. Also the dwellers of northern non temperate regions are like desert animals. They too are faithless and ignorant.
Their living conditions are the same as
described above. The conditions of the inhabitants of the second, the sixth and seventh
realms are comparatively much
inferior. There dwellings are made of reeds and their food consists of
coarse grains like barley and millet.
They cover their body
with leaves or animal hide to wrap
around the waist. They are of
black complexion and at times
nude. Fruits grown in this region are quite clumsy in shape. Their habits are
akin to those of desert animals. Since the sun shines just over their
heads twice in a year. Not only climate and weather are affected by it, but human beings also influenced physically as
their bodies get blackened. In the sixth and seventh realms the sun never falls near the equator. Therefore, people there are fair in color. Such
regions have extremely lighter summers
and milder winters. The
conditions in the fifth, the fourth and
third realms are quite moderate. However, the fourth realm has the highest degree of temperance where people a excellent
from the point of view of knowledge, culture, lifestyle, manners governance, humor etc. In some countries where
sun rays touch the adjoining latitudes
by after reflecting sea surface the temperament of people is quite pleasant as compared
to those who live in hilly
areas. The sun rays have a natural gift
that nourishes all human beings,
animals, plants and even stones.
