Il膩v峁泃a and Bhadr膩艣va are regions (苍补惫补办丑补峁囜笉补) situated within 闯补尘产奴诲惫墨辫补: one of the seven continents situated within the world of the earth (辫峁泃丑颈惫墨). These continents are located above the seven 辫腻迟腻濒补蝉 and may contain even more sub-continents within them, are round in shape, and are encircled within seven concentric oceans.
According to the Par膩khyatantra, 鈥渟tanding between Il膩v峁泃a and Bhadr膩艣va and running from North to South is the mountain-range called Malyavat, which is one thousand yojanas across. Seeing the heavenly garlands, the Siddhas who had come there to worship Brahm膩 plucked them, and thereforeit is called Malyavat鈥�.
The Par膩khyatantra is an old 艢aiva-siddh膩nta tantra dating from before the 10th century.
