Kuśadvīpa is one of the major Dvipas described in the Purana’s sacred geography, presented through its rulers and their descendants to show the ordered structure of the world.
He narrates it genealogically—naming principal figures (like Jyotiṣmān) and then listing their sons and divisions—so cosmic space is understood through lineage and governance.
Even when the verse lists regional lineages, the underlying frame is Vishnu’s sovereignty: the world’s divisions and rulers exist within a divinely sustained cosmic order.
