My dear Lord, the rolling wheels of Mahārāja Priyavrata’s chariot created seven ditches, in which the seven oceans came into existence. Because of these seven oceans, Bhū-maṇḍala is divided into seven islands. You have given a very general description of their measurement, names and characteristics. Now I wish to know of them in detail. Kindly fulfill my desire.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
In Bhū-maṇḍala, seven oceans were created by the seven ditches made by the wheel of Priyavrata’s chariot from which seven islands of Bhū-maṇḍala, each with distinctive construction appeared, and were described by you. O great devotee! I desire to know all about the oceans and islands, with their measurements and qualities. Seven seas were created, from which (yataḥ) seven island, each of distinctive construction (viśeṣa-vikalpaḥ) belonging to the earth (etasyāḥ) were formed. I desire to know all about the oceans and islands (etat).
