Varaha Purana 85.1: Adhyaya 85, Shloka 1

The Ninefold Division of Bhārata and the Enumeration of Its Mountains and River Systems

Translation

Rudra dijo: «Ha sido expuesto el orden del mundo-loto. Ahora escuchad a Bhārata, dividido en nueve partes, a saber: Indra, Kaseru, Tāmravarṇa, Gabhasti, Nāgadvīpa, Saumya, Gandharva, Vāruṇa y Bhātara. Cada una está rodeada por el océano y mide mil yojanas. Allí existen siete montes de linaje (kulaparvata): Mahendra, Malaya, Sahya, Śuktimān, Ṛkṣaparvata, Vindhya y Pāriyātra; éstos son los montes de linaje. Y hay otros montes: Mandara, Śārada, Ardurā, Kola, Hālāhala, Asura, Maināka, Vaidyuta, Vārāndha, Mapāṇḍura, Tuṅgaprastha, Kṛṣṇagiri, Jayanta, Raivata, Ṛṣyamūka, Gomanta, Citrakūṭa, Śrīcakora, Kūṭaśaila y Kṛtasthala; éstos son montes menores, y los restantes son aún más pequeños. En sus regiones habitan janapadas, tanto āryas como mlecchas. Beben el agua de estos ríos: Gaṅgā, Sindhu, Sarasvatī, Śatadru, Vitastā, Vipāśā, Candrabhāgā, Sarayū, Yamunā, Irāvatī, Devikā, Kuhū, Gomati, Dhūtapāpā, Bāhudā, Dṛṣadvatī, Kauśikī, Nisvarā, Gaṇḍakī, Cakṣuṣmatī y Lohitā; éstos nacen al pie del Himavat. Y Vedasmariti, Vedavatī, Sindhuparṇā, Sacandanā, Sadācārā, Rohipārā, Carmaṇvatī, Vidiśā y Vedatrayī; éstos nacen del Pāriyātra.»
