203. This means towards the East there is that place where human population had ceased. though there too, the earth is spherical, and everywhere there is sunshine. 

204. This means there was no trace of any tree or sign of any building. Neither did these people have any cloth to cover their bodies. The earth there was so soft that nothing could be built on it. These people would hide in a cave after sunrise and after sunset would come out to do their work. They were surviving on fish only.
