tribhiḥ - three; kramaiḥ - by steps; asantuṣṭaḥ - one who is dissatisfied; dvīpena - by a complete island; api - although; na pūryate - cannot be satisfied; nava-varṣa-sametena - even by possessing nine varṣas; sapta-dvīpa-vara-icchayā - by the desire to take possession of seven islands.

If I were not satisfied with three paces of land, then surely I would not be satisfied even with possessing one of the seven islands, consisting of nine varṣas. Even if I possessed one island, I would hope to get others.
