priyavrato 'bhyaṣiñcattān sapta saptasu pārthivān /
dvīpeṣu tena dharmeṇa dvīpāṃścaiva nibodha me //
A daughter was begotten of Prajāvatī by the hero Priyavrata. Now that illustrious daughter gave birth through the Prajāpati Kardama to two daughters and ten[5] sons; those two daughters were Saṃrāj[6] and Kukṣi; their ten brothers were warriors equal to the Prajāpati their father. Agnīdhra, and Medhātithi, and Vapuṣmat[7] the next, Jyotiṣmat, Dyutimat. Bhavya, Savana, they were seven of them indeed. Priyavrata anointed those seven as kings over the seven continents. According to that his statute, hear their continents also from me.
