Description of Jambūdvīpa: its regions, mountains, measurements, and cosmic structure
चतुष्पत्रं समुत्पन्नं व्यक्तं पञ्चगुणं महत् । ततः सर्वाः समुद्भूता वितता हि प्रवृत्तयः ॥ ७५.४१ ॥
catuṣpatraṃ samutpannaṃ vyaktaṃ pañcaguṇaṃ mahat | tataḥ sarvāḥ samudbhūtā vitatā hi pravṛttayaḥ || 75.41 ||
నాలుగు దళాల తత్త్వం వ్యక్తమై, మహత్తుగా, పంచగుణసంపన్నంగా ఉద్భవించింది. దానినుంచి సమస్త ప్రవృత్తులు పుట్టి విస్తారంగా వ్యాపించాయి.
Varāha
