Description of the Other Dvīpas
|| 5.20.1 ||
śrī-śuka uvāca
ataḥ paraṁ plakṣādīnāṁ pramāṇa-lakṣaṇa-saṁsthānato varṣa-vibhāga upavarṇyate.
Śukadeva said: Now I shall describe the dimensions, characteristics and shapes of the six islands beginning with the island of Plakṣa.
The Twentieth Chapter describes Plakṣadvīpa and other islands, their varṣas, rivers, mountains and devatās as well as the Lokāloka Mountain.
|| 5.20.2 ||
jambūdvīpo 'yaṁ yāvat-pramāṇa-vistāras tāvatā kṣārodadhinā pariveṣṭito yathā merur jambv-ākhyena lavaṇodadhir api tato dvi-guṇa-viśālena plakṣākhyena parikṣipto yathā parikhā bāhyopavanena; plakṣo jambū-pramāṇo dvīpākhyākaro hiraṇmaya utthito yatrāgnir upāste sapta-jihvas tasyādhipatiḥ priyavratātmaja idhmajihvaḥ svaṁ dvīpaṁ sapta-varṣāṇi vibhajya sapta-varṣa-nāmabhya ātmajebhya ākalayya svayam ātma-yogenopararāma.
As Sumeru Mountain is surrounded by Jambūdvīpa, Jambūdvīpa is also surrounded by an ocean of salt water whose breadth is the same as that of Jambūdvīpa (100,000 yojanas.) As a moat around a fort is sometimes surrounded by gardenlike forest, the saltwater ocean surrounding Jambūdvīpa is itself surrounded by Plakṣadvīpa, whose breadth is twice that of the saltwater ocean (200,000 yojanas). On Plakṣadvīpa there is a plakṣa tree[43] as tall as the jambū tree on Jambūdvīpa, after which the island gets its name. There is a blazing, upward fire with seven flames. Plakṣadvīpa was governed by Idhmajihva, one of the sons of Mahārāja Priyavrata. Idhmajihva, who named its seven varṣas after his seven sons, divided the varṣas among the sons, and then retired from active life to engage in the devotional service of the Lord.
Parikṣitaḥ means surrounded. The fire remains predominant (upāste). Ākalaya means gave.
|| 5.20.3-4 ||
