अन्ये सहस्रशः शैला येषु लोकगणः स्थितः ॥
viśoko vardhamānaśca saptaite kulaparvatāḥ | anye sahasraśaḥ śailā yeṣu lokagaṇaḥ sthitaḥ ||
விசோகமும் வர்தமானமும்—இவை ஏழும் குலப் பர்வதங்கள். மேலும் ஆயிரக்கணக்கான பிற மலைகளும் உள்ளன; அவற்றில் எண்ணற்ற உயிரினக் கூட்டங்கள் வாழ்கின்றன.

The cosmos is portrayed as layered habitats: principal ‘support’ mountains (kulaparvatas) and innumerable secondary peaks, emphasizing plurality within cosmic order.
Sthāna (the arrangement of realms and supports), with a descriptive purāṇic catalog style.
Kulaparvatas can be read as ‘pillars’ of a subtle body of the world—stable axes around which life and experience are distributed.
