jaṃbudvīpamatikramya lakṣayojanamāyatam | tataḥ samudraṃ dviguṇaṃ lavaṇodaṃ tathaiva ca
وبعد أن تجاوز جمبودفيبا الممتدّة مئةَ ألفِ يوجَنا، بلغ بحرًا أعظمَ منه بضعفين—ألا وهو بحرُ الماءِ المالح.
Unspecified in snippet (Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya narrative voice)
Tirtha: Jambūdvīpa (cosmographic) / Lavana-samudra (cosmographic)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A cosmic map-like vision: Jambūdvīpa as a vast landmass encircled by the shimmering salt ocean; Skanda’s vimāna moves beyond the rim, emphasizing scale.
The Purāṇic map of the world is narrated as sacred knowledge, expanding the listener’s sense of divine order and cosmic dharma.
This verse is cosmographic rather than a single-site māhātmya; it mentions Jambūdvīpa and the salt ocean as part of sacred geography.
None; the focus is descriptive (extent, sequence, and nature of regions).
