Let us journey through the sacred lands as described in the ancient scriptures, where the regions and rulers of the world are revealed in divine order. First, among the seven regions of Modāka, Modāka itself is known as the sixth. Each of these seven regions bears the name of its guardian, and their names are Kuśala, Manonuga, Śoṣṇa, Pāvana, and Andhakāraka, among others. These lands, auspicious and belonging to the great Krauñca Island, are named after their respective protectors. Of these, the region that follows the mind is called 'Manonuga', while the one that follows pride is known as 'Mānonuga'. The land of darkness is called 'Āndhakāra'. Thus, the seven illustrious countries of the Krauñca continent are established. Moving to the Kaśa continent, we find regions named Udbhijja, Veṇumāna, Vairatha, Lavaṇa, and Dhṛti. Udbhijja is the first region, Veṇumaṇḍala is the second, Dhṛtimat is the fifth, and Prabhākara is the sixth. These lands in the Kaśa continent carry the same sacred names. On Śālmaladvīpa, the seven sons of Vapuṣmat are its rulers. Among them are Vaidyuta, Mānasa, and Suprabha. Jīmūta is the son of Jīmūta, Rohita is the son of Rohita, and Suprabha is the son of Suprabha. These seven serve as the guardians of their respective regions. On Plakṣadvīpa, the seven sons of Medhātithi reign as kings. Sukhodaya is the third, Nanda is the fourth, and Dhruva is remembered as the seventh. Śāntabhaya, Śiśira, and Sukhodaya are also included among them. Each of these seven regions is equal, with its own portion, governed by the sons of Medhātithi, the kings of Plakṣadvīpa. In these lands—beginning with Plakṣadvīpa and extending near Śākadvīpa—happiness, long life, beauty, strength, and righteousness are ever-present. Having spoken of the Plakṣa continent, now listen to the tale of Jambūdvīpa. Priyavrata anointed his son as the king of Jambūdvīpa. His eldest son, Nābhi, had a younger brother named Kiṃpuruṣa. Ramyaka was the fifth son, and Hiraṇvān was the sixth. Ketumāla was the ninth. Hear now of their regions: Hemakūṭa was given to Kiṃpuruṣa, the central part of Sumeru was bestowed upon Ilāvṛta, and the northern Śveta region was granted to Hiraṇvān. Likewise, the region called Śālyavanta was assigned to Bhadrāśva. Thus, nine regions were described, each divided and governed accordingly. Following this, the righteous one remained engaged in austerity. Through the sons of Priyavrata and the grandsons of Svāyambhuva, when dissolution occurs, seven regions are ruled by seven kings. The eight classes, beginning with Kiṃpuruṣa, are heard of in tradition. These inhabitants do not experience reversal, nor do they suffer old age or death. There are no divisions of ages in any of these eight regions. Nābhi, radiant and of great splendor, was born to Merudevī as her son, continuing the sacred lineage and the guardianship of these blessed lands.
