The verse reinforces a worldview where the cosmos is intelligible and ordered: named mountains and regions are not random details but part of a structured sacred geography, supporting the epic’s broader concern with dharma as order—social, moral, and cosmic.
Sañjaya is describing the features of Kuśadvīpa and enumerating its principal mountains; here he identifies the third mountain as the radiant peak named Kumuda while addressing Dhṛtarāṣṭra as ‘Kauravya’.
