2.1.15

puṣkarādhipatiṃ cakre savanaṃ cāpi sa prabhuḥ
jambūdvīpeśvaro yas tu āgnīdhro munisattama
tasya putrā babhūvus te prajāpatisamā nava //

Priyavrata having divided the earth into seven continents, gave them respectively to his other seven sons. To Agnídhra he gave Jambu-dwípa; to Medhatithi he gave Plaksha-dwípa: he installed Vapushmat in the sovereignty over the Dwípa of Sálmali; and made Jyotishmat king of Kuśa-dwípa: he appointed Dyutimat to rule over Krauncha-dwípa; Bhavya to reign over Sáka-dwípa; and Savala he nominated the monarch of the Dwípa of Pushkara.

Agnídhra, the king of Jambu-dwípa, had nine sons, equal in splendour to the patriarchs: they were named Nábhi, Kimpurusha, Harivarsha, Ilávrita, Ramya, Hirańvat, Kuru, Bhadráśwa, and Ketumála, who was a prince ever active in the practice of piety.
