Varāha-uddhāraṇa and the Re-constitution of Bhū-maṇḍala
Earth after Pralaya
जंघापथश्चतुष्पादस्त्रिपदं च गृहांतरम् / धृतिमार्गस्तूर्द्धषष्ठं क्रमशः पदिकः स्मृतः
jaṃghāpathaścatuṣpādastripadaṃ ca gṛhāṃtaram / dhṛtimārgastūrddhaṣaṣṭhaṃ kramaśaḥ padikaḥ smṛtaḥ
The jaṃghāpatha is four pādas, and the space between houses is said to be three pādas. The dhṛtimārga is reckoned as ‘ūrdhva-ṣaṣṭha’—raised by the sixth part; in due order it is called padika.
