अचिन्त्या दिव्यसंकल्पा प्रभोरेषैव संविधिः । उपासते यत्र सत्रं सहस्रयुगपर्यये॥६-७-४६॥

Inconceivable and shaped by divine resolve—such indeed is the ordinance of the Lord: there they uphold the satra-sacrifice at the completion of a thousand yugas.

In various places Sarasvatī becomes visible and invisible; these seven divine Gaṅgās are renowned across the three worlds.

देवासुराणां च गृहं श्वेतः पर्वत उच्यते । गन्धर्वा निषधे शैले नीले ब्रह्मर्षयो नृप । शृङ्गवांस्तु महाराज पितॄणां प्रतिसंचरः॥६-७-४९॥

The Śveta mountain is said to be a dwelling of Devas and Asuras. Gandharvas reside on the Niṣadha range, and on the Nīla mountain, O king, are the Brahmarṣis. Śṛṅgavān, O great king, is described as a route of return for the Pitṛs (ancestors).

इत्येतानि महाराज सप्त वर्षाणि भागशः । भूतान्युपनिविष्टानि गतिमन्ति ध्रुवाणि च॥६-७-५०॥

Thus, O great king, these are the seven varṣas, apportioned in divisions; within them beings are settled, and their courses and positions are stable.
