(Bhagavatham 5.16.1 – 5.16.30)

Bhoogola Varnana

We may recall Priyavratha’s magnanimous work on Earth for a while. Earth was divided into oceans, mountains, valleys, plain lands and a beautiful landscape was formed. King Parikshith asked Sage Suka to a give a detail of Earth. So he gave a beautiful description on all the continents, oceans, seas and mountains in this world.

Golden mountains shine in a beautiful lustre; heavenly beings carve out ornaments from this gold. They contain lakes of milk, honey, cane juice and pure water. Ripe fruits fall from the trees and their celestial juice flows like rivers. Devas celebrate in these enchanting gardens with the Devis.

There is no place for disease, ageing and death here.

Mount Meru marks the centre of Bhoomi, on whose top, Brahma Deva’s puri is situated. It is surrounded by Ashtadikpalaka’s puris on eight sides.
