Sūta said: The seven sons of Vapuṣman were the rulers of various countries of Śālmali Dvīpa. They were Śveta, Harita, Jīmūta, Rohita, Vaidyuta, Mānasa and Suprabha; The land of Śveta is Śveta; that of Harita, Hārita; that of Jīmūta is Jīmūta; that of Rohita is Rohita; that of Vaidyuta is Vaidyuta; that of Mānasa is Mānasa and that of Suprabha is Suprabha; thus there are seven countries marked after the names of their rulers. I shall mention the divisions in the Plakṣadvīpa that is beyond Jambūdvīpa.
