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

Translation

Rudra bersabda: Susunan Bhupadma (padma bumi) ini telah dihuraikan. Sekarang dengarkan sembilan pembahagian Bharata: Indra, Kaseru, Tamravarna, Gabhasti, Nagadvipa, Saumya, Gandharva, Varuna, dan Bhatara. Setiap satu dilingkungi samudera, dan ukuran tiap-tiapnya ialah seribu yojana. Di sana ada tujuh kulaparvata (gunung keturunan): Mahendra, Malaya, Sahya, Suktiman, Riksaparvata, Vindhya, dan Pariyatra—itulah kulaparvata. Ada pula gunung-gunung kecil: Mandara, Sarada, Ardura, Kolahala, Sura, Mainaka, Vaidyuta, Varandhama, Apandura, Tungaprastha, Krishnagiri, Jayanta, Raivata, Rishyamuka, Gomanta, Chitrakuta, Srichakora, Kutashaila, Kritasthala; selebihnya lebih kecil lagi. Di negeri-negeri itu tinggal janapada Arya dan Mleccha. Mereka meminum air dari sungai-sungai ini: Ganga, Sindhu, Sarasvati, Shatadru, Vitasta, Vipasha, Candrabhaga, Sarayu, Yamuna, Iravati, Devika, Kuhu, Gomati, Dhutapapa, Bahuda, Drishadvati, Kaushiki, Nisvara, Gandaki, Chakshushmati, Lohita—semuanya berasal dari kaki Himavat. Dan Vedasmariti, Vedavati, Sindhuparna, Sacandana, Sadachara, Rohipara, Charmanvati, Vidisha, Vedatrayi—semuanya berasal dari Pariyatra.
