In the Padma Purana, ten cities were established by the sons of Bhanurakshaka: 1. Avarta, 2. Vighata, 3. Ambhoda, 4. Utkat, 5. Sphuta, 6. Durgraha, 7. Tat, 8. Toya, 9. Avali, and 10. Ratnadvipa. ||373|| These cities were adorned with various jewels and shone with the brilliance of golden walls, serving as the abodes of the Rakshasas who desired amusement. ||374|| In those very islands, the celestial beings residing in other islands constructed numerous cities with great enthusiasm. ||375|| Subsequently, both Amararakska and Bhanurakshaka, after bestowing their kingdom upon their sons, embraced the path of initiation and, becoming possessors of the wealth of great austerities, attained the eternal, liberated state. ||376|| Thus, the lineage of King Meghavahana, characterized by great men who first ruled their kingdoms and then embraced initiation, continued in an orderly manner. ||377|| In that lineage, a powerful son named Rakshasa was born to a Rakshasa named Manovega, and from his name, the lineage came to be known as the Rakshasa lineage. ||378|| King Rakshasa had a queen named Suprabha, and from her, he had two sons: Adityagati and Brihatkirti. Both these sons possessed a radiance like that of the sun and the moon. ||379|| King Rakshasa, like a bull bearing the burden of the chariot of the kingdom, entrusted his two sons with the responsibility of ruling and then, embracing austerity, attained heaven. ||380|| The elder brother was Adityagati, the king, and the younger brother was Brihatkirti, the crown prince. Adityagati's wife was named Sadanpadma, and Brihatkirti's wife was known as Pushpanakha. ||381|| Adityagati had a son named Bhimaprbha, who had a thousand wives, all possessing a radiance like that of celestial nymphs. ||382|| From these wives, he had one hundred and eight powerful sons, who, like pillars, supported their kingdom from all sides. ||383|| Subsequently, King Bhimaprbha, after bestowing his kingdom upon his eldest son, embraced initiation and, through continuous austerity, attained the supreme state. ||384|| Thus, numerous celestial beings of the lineage of Meghavahana, upon whom the Rakshasa Indra, Bhima-Subhima, had bestowed his grace, resided happily in the Rakshasadvipa. ||385|| These Rakshasa-born celestial beings, protected by the merit of their deeds, guarded the Rakshasadvipa, which became known as such. ||386||
