Verse 32

²⁷So Prthu and the others, all of them eaters, took their own food from the earth, best of the Kurus; and the milk differed as the milker and the calf and the rest differed. ²⁸Then Prthu, lord of the earth, was pleased, and out of love he made her, who gives whatever is wanted, his daughter, being fond of her as of a daughter. ²⁹Grinding the peaks of the hills with the tip of his bow, the king of kings, Vena's son, the mighty one, made this circle of the earth level almost everywhere. ³⁰Then Vena's son, the Bhagavan, who gave his people their living and was a father to them, laid out dwellings on it, here and there, as each place deserved:

³¹villages, towns and cities, forts of many kinds, herdsmen's settlements and cattle stations with their camps, mines, and hamlets both great and small. ³²Before Prthu there was no such laying out of towns and villages here. People lived where they pleased, here and there, with nothing to fear.
