Chapter 7: Dvīpa–Varṣa–Meru-varṇana
Description of the Dvīpa, Varṣas, and Mount Meru
देवलोकच्युता: सर्वे जायन्ते तत्र मानवा: | शुक्लाभिजनसम्पन्ना: सर्वे सुप्रियदर्शना:
devalokacyutāḥ sarve jāyante tatra mānavāḥ | śuklābhijanasampannāḥ sarve supriyadarśanāḥ ||
三阇耶说道:“凡自天界降下者,皆在彼处转生为人。具足清净而高贵的族裔,人人悦目可亲——皆是有德之灵,由其功德自诸天来至人间。”

The verse links ethical merit (puṇya) with the conditions of human birth: those who descend from heavenly realms are portrayed as being born among humans with purity of lineage and pleasing qualities, suggesting a moral causality where past virtue shapes present embodiment and social circumstances.
Sañjaya continues a cosmographical description (in the Jambūkhanda-related section), explaining the kind of beings who are born in that region: humans who have come down from Devaloka, characterized as virtuous and of noble, auspicious birth.
