Pīvara

Pīvara · pīvara, “the stout one”

Pīvara is a son of Dyutimān and one of the seven rulers of Krauñca-dvīpa.

Lomaharshaṇa tells the munis that Krauñca-dvīpa is twice as large as Kuśa-dvīpa, and that the seven sons of Dyutimān are its rulers: Kuśaga, Mandaga, Ushṇa, Pīvara, Andhakāraka, Muni and Dundubhi. Its varsha mountains, frequented by devas and gandharvas, are Krauñca, Vāmana, Andhakāraka, Devavrata, Dhama, Puṇḍarīkavān and Dundubhi, each twice the measure of the one before. The Pushkaras and Pushkalas move about there with the hosts of devas, and the four varṇas live there.
