c7.s4.7
Each dwīpa is named after a founder who is one of the sons of Prajāvrats. Each of them founds a kingdom or dynasty in his dwīpa. With one exception, each of these heroes begets seven sons and the kingdom of his dwīpa is divided into seven principalities, one principality being assigned to each of the seven sons. Again each dwīpa has seven mountain ranges and seven rivers.
