Therefore, the wise always worship Rudra in this prescribed manner, for he is the origin of all beings, the very soul within all, whose form shines with blue and red hues. The gods, led by Prajapati and seeking the proper fruits of sacrifice, worship this blessed Lord, and thus he is known as Tryambaka. Out of love, the sacred Kuṣa grass is also called Tryambaka, and Rudra is further known as Trisādhana, the cake of three parts, and as the three-skulled one. In this way, the learned declare that a five-year period is called a yuga. Then, a single group of six arose, known as the season of honey and so forth. Time itself rushes onward, sweeping everything along like the current of a mighty river. The sons and grandsons that arise are so numerous they cannot be counted. Yet, by praising those of virtuous fame, one attains great accomplishment. All beings are born with equal pride, each bearing their own name and form. The seers and Manus too, though unique, share similar purposes. Now, hear in detail and in proper order the measure of their fame—those by whom this entire earth, with its seven continents and many cities, is possessed. In the interval of Svāyambhuva and also in the first Tretā Yuga, the people were established by those endowed with goodness and austerity. A blessed maiden became the daughter of Kardama, the lord of creatures, and from them were born ten heroic brothers, each equal to Prajāpati. Among them were Jyotiṣmān, Dyutimān, Havya, Savana, and Sābhra. On the various islands, righteousness prevailed, and the boundaries of these islands were established. Medhātithi was made the lord of Plakṣa Island, while Jyotiṣmān was appointed king of Kuśa Island. Priyavrata made Havya the lord of Śāka Island. On Puṣkara Island, Savanā's son Mahāvīta was born, and that region is remembered as Mahāvīta after his name. Havya, the lord of Śāka Island, begot sons: Kusumottara, Modāka, and the seventh, Mahādruga. Of Kumāra, Kaumāra is said to be the second; of Maṇīva, the fourth is called Maṇīvaka; and of Modāka, Modāka is known as the sixth region. In this way, the seven regions are named after them. There are also Kuśala, Manonuga, Śoṣṇa, Pāvana, and Andhakāraka—their lands, auspicious and belonging to Krauñca Island, are named in their honor. A region that follows the mind is called 'manonuga,' and one that follows pride is called 'mānonuga.' The region of darkness is known as 'Āndhakāra.' These are the seven illustrious countries on the Krauñca continent. Further, there are Udbhijja, Veṇumāna, Vairatha, Lavaṇa, and Dhṛti. Udbhijja is the first region, Veṇumaṇḍala the second, Dhṛtimat the fifth, and Prabhākara the sixth. In this way, the earth and its regions were populated and named, each with its own unique character and lineage, as established by the noble and virtuous.
