Bhadrā has other meanings too: see all meanings of Bhadrā. Śveta has other meanings too: see all meanings of Śveta.

Śṛṅgavān, also named Śṛṅgavat, is one of the great mountains of Jambūdvīpa. The Bhavishya Purāṇa counts it among the six varsha-parvatas and among the seven kula-parvatas.

The varsha-parvatas

Sumantu Muni tells King Śatānīka in the Brahma Parva that the six varsha-parvatas are Himavat, Hemakūṭa, Nishadha, Nīla, Śveta and Śṛṅgavat, with the great silver mountain Mahārajata in their middle, and above them the cities of the devas.

Śrī Kṛshṇa tells Yudhishṭhira in the Uttara Parva that the seven kula-parvatas of Jambūdvīpa are Himavān, Hemakūṭa, Nishadha, Meru, Nīla, Śveta and Śṛṅgavān. Jambūdvīpa measures one lakh yojanas and has nine varshas.
