830 Stimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 3, Ch. 21
PURPORT
Sometimes it is stated that Brahmavarta is a part of Kuruksetra or that
Kuruksetra itself is situated in Brahmavarta because the demigods are
recommended to perform spiritual ritualistic performances in Kuruksetra.
But in others’ opinion, Brahmavarta is a place in Brahmaloka where
Svayambhuva ruled. There are many places on the surface of this earth
which are also known in the higher planetary systems; we have places on
this planet like Vrndavana, Dvaraka and Mathura, but they are also eter-
nally situated in Krgnaloka. There are many similar names on the surface
of the earth, and it may be that in the Boar Age Svayambhuva Manu ruled
this planet, as stated here. The word mangalah is significant. Mangala
means one who is elevated in every respect in the opulences of religious
performances, ruling power, cleanliness and all other good qualities.
Vikhydta means celebrated. Svayambhuva Manu was celebrated for all
good qualities and opulences.
