Six Islands

Chapter 20

Having described Jambudvipa, Sukadeva Goswami next described the other six islands that make up Bhu-mandala. The first five of these islands have seven varsas, while the final island (Puskaradvipa) has two varsas. Jambudvipa, described previously, has nine varsas. The original rulers of these dvipas were the sons of Priyavrata, and the islands were named after them. At the periphery of Bhu-mandala are the famous Lokaloka mountain ranges.

Sukadeva Goswami thus described the entire structure of Bhu-Mandala.
