此岛之主亦为普利耶弗拉塔之子，名“梅达提提”（Medhātithi）。他将全岛分为七部，以诸子之名命名，并立其为王：普罗阇瓦、摩诺阇瓦、帕瓦玛那、杜姆拉尼迦、奇特拉雷法、巴胡鲁帕、毗湿瓦达拉。安置既毕，梅达提提亲自退隐，入修行之林，以专注其心于至上主阿难陀的莲足。
FAQs
Medhātithi is a descendant of Priyavrata who rules that region, divides it into seven varṣas, appoints his sons as governors, and then retires to a forest of austerity with his mind absorbed in Bhagavān Ananta.
After establishing orderly governance through his sons, he turned inward for spiritual realization—absorbing his mind in Ananta and adopting the life of austerity, showing the Bhagavata ideal of combining duty with renunciation.
Fulfill responsibilities responsibly (delegate and create stability), but keep a clear spiritual priority—cultivating steady remembrance of the Lord and making time for disciplined sādhana and detachment.
