Priyavrata Accepts Kingship by Brahmā’s Instruction; Sapta-dvīpa Formation and Renunciation

当梵天乘其座驾降临天穹时，诸天与仙众乘各自飞行宫殿列队迎奉礼敬；他宛如群星环绕的满月，光辉照耀。沿途，悉达、乾闼婆、萨陀、查罗那以及诸牟尼分队歌咏赞颂。就这样，他照亮了甘达玛达那山的谷地，渐渐接近端坐禅修的普利耶弗拉塔。
It appears from this description that there is regular interplanetary travel between the planets of the demigods. Another significant point is that there is a planet covered mostly by great mountains, one of which is Gandhamādana Hill. Three great personalities — Priyavrata, Nārada and Svāyambhuva Manu — were sitting on this hill. According to Brahmā-saṁhitā, each universe is filled with different planetary systems, and every system has a unique opulence. For example, on Siddhaloka all the residents are very advanced in the powers of mystic yoga. They can fly from one planet to another without airplanes or other flying machines. Similarly, the residents of Gandharvaloka are expert in musical science, and those on Sādhyaloka are all great saints. The interplanetary system undoubtedly exists, and residents of different planets may go from one to another. On this earth, however, we have not invented any machine that can go directly from one planet to another, although an unsuccessful attempt has been made to go directly to the moon.
