How did, O Lord, the continent of Bharata appear with respect to its features and (people's) states in the excellently developed aeon of supreme plenty during the current descending cycle in the Island of Jambüdvīpa? Gautama! the appearance of the) land of the continent of Bharata was very delightful on account of the evenness of its surface, just like the parchment stretched over the opening of a hand-drum of the ālingī variety. Here the description of uttarakuru is to be brought from (the Jīva. 3.578-79; or Jambū 2.7).... up to there were indeed many inhabitants of the Bharata continent as men and women (flora and fauna), who used to reside, sleep, stand, sit, turn sides while lying down, laugh, play and make merry there. In that aeon, different parts and regions of the continent of Bharata here and there were spread over by many trees like Uddāla, Koddāla...... up to the clean treeroots free from the grasses like Kusa and Vikuśa...... up to the heredity of six races of humans prevailed, viz., [1] humans with (natural) fragrance of lotus, [2] humans with (natural) fragrance of musk, [3] unselfish humans [4] vigorous and handsome humans, [5] tolerant and powerful humans and [6] humans free from hustle-bustle.
Bhāsya
1. Sutra 135
The present dialogue delineates the condition of the ara (aeon) of supreme plenty in the descending cycle. At the time, the surface of the earth was perfectly even.
