In the sacred lineage described, Nara, the noble son of Gaya, was blessed with a son named Viradgata. In the same illustrious tradition, Tvashta was born to Tvashtu, and Viraja was the son of Rajas. Thus concludes the detailed account of the lineage of Priyavrata, a genealogy essential for understanding the formation of the world-sphere, as narrated in the Achara Section of the first part of the glorious Garuda Purana. Turning to the structure of the world, at its very center lies the land of Ilavrita, surrounded by wondrous regions. To the east stretches the marvelous Bhadrasva, while to the south of the towering Meru mountain lies the land called Kimpurusha. To the west is Ketumala, and in the northwest, the realm of Ramyaka. O Rudra, it is said that success comes naturally throughout these lands, except in the land of Bharata, where effort and striving are required. There are also sacred regions known as Nagadvipa, Katāha, Simhala, and Varuna. To the east of these dwell the Kiratas, and to the west are the Yavanas. Within the heart of the land, Brahmanas, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras live and uphold society. The land is graced by seven principal mountains: Vindhya, Pariyatra, and others, each standing as a guardian of the earth. Many holy rivers flow through these lands—Tapti, Payoshni, Sarayu, Kaveri, and Gomati among them. Other sacred rivers include Ketumala, Tamraparni, Chandrabhaga, and Sarasvati. Vidarbha, Shatadru, and many other auspicious rivers are revered, for they are believed to cleanse one of sins. The people of these lands are many and diverse: the Panchalas, Kurus, Matsyas, Yaudheyas, and Pataccaras; the Padmas, Sutas, Magadhas, and Chedis; the Kalingas, Vangas, Pundras, Angas, Vaidarbhas, and Mulakas; the Pulindas, Ashmakas, Jīmūtas, and those from the Naya and Rashtra regions; the Ambasthas, Dravidas, Latas, Kambojas, Strimukhas, and Shakas; the Strirajya people, Saindhavas, Mlecchas, Nastikas, and the Yavanas; the Mandavyas, Tusharas, Mulikas, Ashvamukhas, and Khashas; the Lambas, Stananagas, Madrakas, Gandharas, and Bahlikas; and finally, the Trigartas, Nilas, Kolas, Brahmaputras, and Satankanas. Thus is the world populated by many tribes and peoples, each with their own customs and ways. This concludes the fifty-fifth chapter of the Garuda Purana, known as the "Description of the Bhuvanakosha"—the cosmic geography. The narrative then turns to the lands beyond, where Medhatithi, the lord of Plaksha-dvipa, had seven sons: Sukhodaya, Nanda, Shiva, Kṣemaka, Gomeda, Chandra, and Narada, as well as Dundubhi. Anutapta and Shikhi, along with Vipasha, ascended to heaven in their due order. Vapushman, the lord of Shalmala, fathered sons named after various regions—Vaidyuta, Manasa, and Saprabhasa being among the seventh. In these lands, the mountains known as Krauncha and Kakudman stand prominent, and the rivers flow with purity. Vidhriti is remembered as the seventh among these, renowned for granting the cessation of sin. Other notable mountains and rivers include Udbhida, Veṇumān, Dvairatha, Lambana, and Dhṛti; Vidruma, Hemashaila, Dyutimat, and Puṣpavān; and rivers such as Dhūtapāpā, Śivā, Pavitrā, and Sanmati. On the island of Krauncha-dvīpa, the great-souled Dyutimat had seven sons: Muni, Dundubhi, and others, O Hara. Among these, the fifth is Divāvṛt, and Dundubhi is known as Puṇḍarīkavān. The rivers of this land are Khyāti and Puṇḍarīkā, along with Jalada, Kumāra, Sukumāra, Oruṇī, and Baka, all flowing with auspiciousness. Thus is the sacred geography and lineage of the world described in the Garuda Purana, painting a vivid tapestry of lands, peoples, mountains, and rivers, all woven together by the divine order.
