Ānanda, Śiva, Kṣemaka, and Dhruva were among those whose names shone brightly in the lineage. By the division of class and stage of life, each person’s own duty leads to liberation, O twice-born. Now, listen attentively to the names of Agnīdhra’s sons, O best of the twice-born: Ramya, Hiraṇvān, Kuru, Bhadrāśva, Ketumāla, and Halaka. Agnīdhra divided his sons into nine parts and allotted them their portions accordingly. He gave the land of Hemakūṭa to Kimpuruṣa; Ilāvṛta, the central region of Meru, he bestowed upon Ilāvṛta. The northern land called Śveta was given to Hiraṇvat by their father, while Gandhamādana was granted to Ketumāla. Realizing the hardship and burden of worldly existence, Agnīdhra withdrew to the forest and performed austerities. From Marudevī, a son named Ṛṣabha was born to him—a child of great brilliance. Ṛṣabha, having gone to the hermitage of forest-dwellers, performed austerities according to the prescribed rule. Immersed in the yoga of knowledge, he became a great devotee of Pashupati. From Sumati, who was radiant, Indradyumna was born. Indradyumna’s son, renowned as Pratiharta, followed. From Pratiharta came Prithu; then from Prithu, Rakta; and from Rakta, Gaya was born as his son. Gaya’s son was endowed with great strength and intelligence. Tvashta was the son of Tvashtu, and Viraja was born as the son of Rajas. Among them, the chief and most powerful was known as Vishvajyotis. Vishvajyotis begot a son who was righteous, mighty-armed, and a subduer of enemies. In ancient times, this earth was enjoyed by those born in their lineage. The full extent of these three worlds cannot be described to you in detail. The Janaloka, Tapoloka, and Satyaloka are considered to have arisen from the cosmic egg. So far, the Bhurloka has been described in the Purana, O best of twice-born. The Bhuvarloka is also of the same extent as the orbit of the sun. The Svarloka is likewise described; there are the spokes of Vayu there. There are Samvaha and Vivaha, and above them is Paravaha. At a hundred thousand yojanas from the earth is situated the orbit of the sun. The entire circle of the stars shines at that same distance. At that same measure, the planet Budha and also Ushanas are situated. At a distance of two hundred thousand yojanas from the earth stands the priest of the gods. From there, at a distance of one hundred thousand yojanas, the circle of the Seven Sages is seen. There, Dharma abides—he is the blessed Lord Viṣṇu, Nārāyaṇa. The expanse of that circle, measured, is threefold. Of those two, Svarbhānu moves below, being equal in measure. Svarbhānu’s great station, the third, is said to be full of darkness. Below Bhārgava is Bṛhaspati, known to be without a foot’s length. From the expanse and the circle, Budha is also without a foot’s length compared to those two. By Budha, those distances and circles are likewise equal. There are five, four, three, and two hundreds of yojanas. Thus, the sacred lineage and the cosmic realms are revealed, each with their own measure and order, woven together in the tapestry of Sanātana Dharma.
