One of the Dhveepam is Jambhu Dhveepam surrounded by Salty ocean.This dhveepam has 9 KhaNdams ( Divisions).Eacj of these KhaNDams have Lords and the main UpAsakaas, the manthrams for these Lords and their dhyAna slOkams. Here is a sampling of the Nine Lords and their KhANDams: 1.ILAvrutham:SankarshaNa Moorthy / UpAsakar: Parama Sivan 2.BhadrAsvam: HayagrIvan/UpAsakars: Bhadrasrava Vasus 3.Harivarsham: Sri Narasimhan/PrahlAdhan 4.KethumAlam: KaamadEvan(Name for Lord NarAyanan here/ UpAsakAs: MahA Lakshmi and sambvathsara Devathias 5.Ramyakam: Matsya Moorthy/ Upasakar: Manu 6.HiraNmayam: Koorma Moorthy/ UpAsakar:Aryama ( Pithru Devathai) 7.Uttharakuru: Yaj~na Varahar/ UpAsakar: BhUmi Devi 8.Kimppurusham/Raamar, UpAsakar: HanumAn 9.Bharatham:Nara NaarAyanan/ UpAsakar: Naaradar et al at BhadrikAsramam In the remaining 6 Dhveepams, the Lords worshipped are: Plakshath: Sooryan Saalamalam: Chandra Kusa dhveepam: Agni Krouncham: Appu Roopam/Jalam Saakam: Vaayu Pushakaram: Brahma Roopam Vasubhandha and Aniruddha Moorthy are not mentioned in this listing. Aniruddhan is one of the Vyuha Moorthy. Aniruddhan (Unobstructed ) is also the gandson of Krishnan and son of Pradhyumnan in PurANams.You might recall the UshA PariNayam and BaaNAsurs Vadham. Vasubhandha might therefore be the RaajadhAni of KrishNA's grandson , Aniruddhan. BTW, which Sri Sookthi of ParAsara Bhattar did you come across this reference? V.Sadagopan
