Dvipas (islands) are planets in outer space
Islands mentioned the the 5th Canto of Srimad Bhagavatam actually means planetary globes in outer space
This is confirmed here -
Srila Prabhupada - ''Dvipas (islands) are planets in outer space'' (CC Madhya 20.218)
Srila Prabhupada - ''Just like here, in this planet, when you go up, you see it is ball. But when you go up you see just like a ball.” Lectures, Bhagavad-gita 2.12, Bhagavad-gita 2.12, New York, March 9, 1966)
Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 2 Chapter 7 Text 1 tells us our Earth is a GLOBE
Srila Prabhupada - ''The floating of the planets in the weightless air is due to the inner constitution of the GLOBES, and the modernized drilling of the earth to exploit oil from within is a sort of disturbance by the modern demons and can result in a greatly harmful reaction to the floating condition of the earth''.
Bhu-Mandala is our Universe with its 14 Planetary Systems and NOT our small Earth Globe we live on.
The Bhu-Mandala Universe is also known as the ''Greater Earth Mandala" which includes the entire 14 different Planetary Systems. It is not to be confused with our ''small Earth Mandala'' or global round sphere we live on.
Therefore there are TWO Earth Mandala descriptions in Srimad Bhagavatam
1 - "The large Earth Mandala" called Bhu-Mandala which is our entire 6 billion 438 million kilometres in diameter Universe.
2 - "The small Earth Mandala" which is our round Earth global sphere which is a small Planet in space that has a diameter of 12,742 Kilometres and is in the middle Planetary System as shown in the photo of the 14 Planetary Systems collectively called the Bhu-Mandala Universe.
Srila Prabhupada - ''Dvipas (islands) are planets in outer space'' (CC Madhya 20.218)
Srila Prabhupada - ''Just like here, in this planet, when you go up, you see it is ball. But when you go up you see just like a ball.”
The conclusion -
The "smaller Earth Mandala" or our round Earth global sphere is almost just "13 thousand kilometers" in diameter therefore Earth is NOT Bhu-Mandala.
Sadaputa prabhu our most informed Vedic Cosmologist explains our small Earth is way too small to be Bhu-Mandala which is about "7 billion kilometers" in diameter.
