Sammati (River)

Sammati · sam-mati, “accord, assent”

Sammati is a river of Kuśadvīpa, one of the seven dvīpas of the earth. Lomaharshaṇa names it to the munis in Chapter 20 of the Brahma Purāṇa, among the rivers of that dvīpa: Dhūtapāpā, Śivā, Pavitrā, Sammati, Vidyudambhas, Mahī and some others. Thousands of smaller streams flow there too, and they remove every pāpa (sin).

Kuśadvīpa

In Kuśadvīpa the varshas bear the names of the seven sons of King Jyotishmān: Udbhida, Veṇumān, Svairatha, Randhana, Dhṛti, Prabhākara and Kapila. Together with humans there live daityas, dānavas, devas, gandharvas, yakshas and kiṃpurushas. The four varṇas there, each devoted to its own dharma, are called Dama (the brāhmaṇas), Śushmiṇa (the kshatriyas), Sneha (the vaiśyas) and Māndaha (the śūdras).

There Janārdana is worshipped in the form of Parabrahma. The people perform yajñas to Janārdana and so exhaust the fruit of their former puṇya, which would otherwise bind them to births holding high office; they desire only mukti. The seven varsha mountains are Vidruma, Hemaśaila, Dyutimān, Pushṭimān, Kuśeśaya, Hari and Mandara. In the middle of the dvīpa stands a great clump of kuśa grass, and from it the dvīpa takes its name.
