Go through entire thread carefully.

The earth has seven great islands- Jambu, Plaksha, Shaalmali, Kusha, Kronch, Shaakh and Pushkar. These are surrounded by oceans having saline water, sugarcane juice, wine, ghee, curd, milk and sweet water respectively.

Jambudweep is situated at the centre.

At the centre of Jambudweep is golden Sumeru Mountain (Himalayas), which is 84000 Yojans high. Towards the south of Sumeru &Himavaan, Hemkut &Nishad Mountains. Towards its north are Neel &Shringi Mountains. All these mountains are 2000 Yojans high with similar expansion.

Towards the south of Sumeru Mountain, Bharatvarsha is the first landmass followed by Kimpurushvarsha and Harivarsha. In the north of Sumeru Mountain, Ramyak is the first landmass followed by Hiranyamay and Uttarkuruvarsha. All these landmasses have expansion of 9000 Yojans.

At the centre of these landmasses is Ilaavritvarsha that bears Sumeru Mountain. On the four sides of Sumeru Mountain are four smaller mountains that seem to support the massive Sumeru. Among these four mountains, Mandrachal Mountain is in the east and in the south is Gandhmaadan

Vipul is in the west and Supaarsh is in the north.

All these 4 mountains are

10,000 Yojans high &have lofty trees of Cadamba, Jambu, Pipal and Banyan.

Because of abundance of Jambu trees, this island came to be known as Jambudweep.

It bears big fruits, which scatter all around upon falling on the earth.

Their juice gives rise to the river Jambu. Its water is capable of keeping demerits like sweat, foul smell, old age &loss of senses away from the drinker.

When the juice of this fruit dries, it leaves the soil golden in colour.

Towards the east of Sumeru Mountain is Bhadrashvavarsha & towards the west is Ketumaalvarsha. Midway between the two is Ilaavritvarsha. On the eastern side of Meru Mountain is the forest of Chaitrarath.

In the south is Gandhmaadan and in the west is Vaibhraaj and towards the north is the forest named Nandan. Mount Sumeru also holds 4 holy lakes named
Arunodaya,
Mahabhadra,
Asitoda and
Maanas.

Shitambh,
Kumund,
Kukri,
Maalyavaan,
Vaikank are some of the peaks situated towards the eastern side of Sumeru.

Towards the southern side are the peaks of Trikut,
Shishir,
Patang,
Ruchak and Nishaad.

In the west are situated peaks of
Shikhivaasa,
Vaidurya,
Kapil,
Gandhmaadan and
Jaarudhi
.......and in the north are situated the peaks of
Shankhkoot,
Rishabh,
Hans,
Naag and Kaalanj.

Above mount Meru is situated Brahmapuri of Brahma which hs expansion of 14,000 Yojans. Maa Ganga that rises from feet of Prabhu Vishnu circles lunar sphere before falling in Brahmapuri.
Thence it divides into 4 rivers- Sita,Chakshu, Alaknanda &Bhadra that flow into 4 directions

The landmasses of
Bharat,
Ketumaal,
Bhadraashva
and Kuru appear like lotus leaf in shape.

Among all the peaks that surround Mount Meru are present beautiful caves.

There also exist beautiful towns and gardens. In these towns are situated beautiful temples of
Lakshmi,
Vishnu,
Agni and Surya.
Ravines of these mountains are populated by
Gandharvas, Rakshasa, Yaksha and Daanavas.

Besides them, scores of religious people also live there.

Prabhu Vishnu stays as
Hayagreev (human figure with horse head) form in Bhadrashvavarsha.
In Ketumaalvarsha, He is in boar form and

in Bharatvarsha; He stays in turtle form.
In Kuruvarsha, Prabhu Vishnu stays as fish.

Thus Shri Vishnu is present everywhere. People of these 8 landmasses are free from all kinds of sorrow, pain, emotions, hunger etc. &lead a healthy + rich life that extends up to 10-12000 yrs.

All these landmasses have 7 indigenous mountains each from which 100 of rivers rise.
