Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Thereafter, thinking that because brāhmaṇas with no material desires should possess the whole earth, Rāmacandra delivered the remaining land between the east, west, north and south to the ācārya. He thought that the land between the directions, the remaining land, should given to the brāhmaṇas, since the whole earth should go to the brāhmaṇas because they are without desire.
