Samantapañcaka Narrative and the Measure of an Akṣauhiṇī
जम्बूखण्डविनिर्माणं पर्वोक्ते तदनन्तरम् | भूमिपर्व ततः प्रोक्ते द्वीपविस्तारकीर्तनम्,इसके आगे जम्बूखण्ड विनिर्माणपर्व है। तदनन्तर भूमिपर्व कहा गया है, जिसमें द्वीपोंके विस्तारका कीर्तन किया गया है
jambū-khaṇḍa-vinirmāṇaṁ parvokte tad-anantaram | bhūmi-parva tataḥ prokte dvīpa-vistāra-kīrtanam |
接着说到名为“阎浮洲建构篇”（Jambū-khaṇḍa Construction）之段。其后宣说“地品”（Bhūmi-parvan），其中称述诸岛洲（大陆）之广袤与详尽形貌——表明叙事由谱系传说转向宇宙地理的铺陈，以更宏大的有序世界来框定人间行事。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the Mahābhārata’s method of situating human history within a larger cosmic geography: by describing the world’s structure (Jambū-khaṇḍa and the dvīpas), the text frames ethical life and dharma as operating within an ordered universe rather than in isolation.
The speaker is outlining the sequence of sections (parvans): after the narration of the Jambū-khaṇḍa’s formation comes the Bhūmi-parvan, which contains an expanded description of the dvīpas (continents/islands).
