Uttara-kuru—traversed by the river Bhadrā; a continent adjoining Meru, in the hill of Suparśva north of Śṛṅgavat and south of the sea. Here Hari revealed himself as Varāha (Matsya, Vi.) and mother Earth praised him by Upaniṣad naming him Yajña and Kratu.¹ Conquered by Parīkṣit.² Full of milk trees; women-folk excel apsaras; people are born in pair (mithuna) and love each other as Cakravāka birds. Here Aila lived for some time with Urvaśī.³ A sacred tīrtha.⁴
