Adhyaya 60 — Descriptions of Kimpurusha-varsha, Hari-varsha, Ilavrita (Meru-varsha), Ramyaka, and Hiranyamaya
वर्षायुतायुषस्तत्र नरास्तत्फलभोगिनः ।
रतिप्रधानविमला जरादौर्गन्ध्यवर्जिताः ॥
varṣāyutāyuṣas tatra narās tat-phalabhoginaḥ |
ratipradhānavimalā jarā-daurgandhya-varjitāḥ ||
وہاں لوگ دس ہزار برس تک رہتے ہیں اور اس سرزمین کی پیداوار کے پھلوں سے لطف اندوز ہوتے ہیں۔ وہ پاکیزہ، فطرتاً لذت پسند، اور بڑھاپے اور بدبو سے مبرا ہوتے ہیں۔

The Purāṇic geography uses idealized human conditions (long life, purity, freedom from decay) to contrast different cosmic regions and to suggest that environment and merit (puṇya) shape embodied experience.
Primarily within 'Sthāna' (cosmic arrangement/locations) and secondarily supports 'Manvantara' framing by depicting conditions across cosmic divisions, though no specific Manu is named here.
Freedom from 'jarā' and 'daurgandhya' symbolically points to a sattva-dominant realm where the gross signs of decay are minimized—an imaginal map of purity rather than a purely physical ethnography.
