The sacred narrative unfolds with the mention of many wondrous beings who inhabit the earth: Gandharvas with their celestial music, Kinnaras, Yakṣas, Rākṣasas, Vidyādharas, and serpents, each with their unique qualities and powers. Alongside them dwell peoples such as the Kirātas, Pulindas, Kurus, and the Bharatas, spread across the vast regions. The lands of Suhma, Uttara, Vanga, and Tamralipta are described, each with their own character. Repelled from the Vindhya mountains, the sacred river made her way into the salt ocean, drenching the lands she passed, including the regions of Nishadha and Trigarta. She flowed through the territories of the Kekaras, Aushtakarnas, and Kiratas, continuing her journey eastward, where the lands vanished into the circle of the ocean. Along her path, she crossed good roads, the Pāvaya region, and the famed lake of Indradyumna. In the midst of her journey, she reached Janaki, then moved onward to Kutha and Pravarana. The river Nalinī, swift and graceful, pressed onward toward the eastern direction, nourishing the lands as she pierced through many mountains. She traversed sandy mountains and deserts, finally reaching the domains of the Vidyādharas, where rivers and streams abound in hundreds and thousands. On the banks of the Vakvaukasā lies the renowned Surabhi forest, a place of immense sacrifice, energy, and valor. Four mighty beings here are considered attendants of Kubera, each twice as great as the other in righteousness, desire, and wealth. By the power of the wise, the radiant Jyotishmati is found, and on the supreme mountain Nishadha, there is the lake called Vishnupada. From the side of Meru arises the great lake Chandraprabha, while Payoda lake shines deep blue, radiant, and adorned with lotuses. From the white region flows the sacred river Sarayu, originating from the lake Manasa. In the Kuru region, a famous lake teems with lotuses, fish, and birds, as do other lakes in the area, each renowned for their abundance of life. From these waters, two tranquil and honey-sweet rivers are born. Springs and noble rivers emerge, flowing forth across the land. The great mountain ridges stretch eastward, submerged in the salty ocean, while those rising northward reach the northern end and plunge into the vast waters. The ridges stretching westward have also entered the salty ocean, and those extending southward reach the southern sea. There, the fire named Samvartaka consumes the waters. Altogether, twelve mighty mountains have entered the salty ocean. The narrative turns to the moon, whose white surface bears the shape of a black hare, visible here as it rises, just as elsewhere. Health, lifespan, and measures are determined by righteousness, desire, and wealth, and thus, this earth sustains the entire universe and all living beings. Now, O best of the twice-born, the truth is spoken: the earth's circumference is twice as great in every direction. In these regions, virtue prevails, and people live long lives. There, too, are seven sacred mountains, adorned with precious jewels, completing the wondrous tapestry of this earth.
