Haggesitze is correct.
Urbs prima in mundis = Foremost city in the worlds
("mundis" should be a singular "mundo" to sound better)
"Urbs prima in Indis" is incorrect Latin. The preposition "in" takes the ablative, so it should say, "Urbs prima in India" (foremost city in India) or "Urbs prima Indiae" (foremost city of India). Indis is not a correct form of the word at all - it would need to be spelled Indiis to be the ablative plural they were going for, just as they have mundis in the ablative plural. Both of which should be singular to translate correctly. Unless you made a typo, as S is right next to A on the keyboard.
India -ae, f. [India]

"..in the World", literally "worlds", as the other one should be "in Indiae"=the Indias, Indus is only the river, and could not be a plural.(?)
I am open to correction.
