Human life is portrayed as conditioned by cosmic order; geography and time are intertwined in Purāṇic mapping, implying that environment and epoch shape dharma and human flourishing.
This belongs to cosmographical exposition used across Purāṇas as supportive material for 'Sarga/Pratisarga' world-structure narratives rather than direct genealogy.
‘East of Devakūṭa’ can be read symbolically: the ‘east’ (udaya) suggests emergence/illumination—placing an idealized varṣa in the direction of spiritual dawn.
