Plakṣadvīpa (Sanskrit: प्लक्षद्वीप) is one of the seven dvipas ("island" or "continent") envisioned in Hindu cosmology.
The mere mention of the latter has the ability to "dispel sins altogether", and "the people of the region drink waters thereof and feel delighted".
Its ruler, Medhātithi, had seven sons, Śāntabhaya, Śiśira, Sukhodaya, Ānanda, Śiva, Kṣemaka and Dhruva, who rule sub-kingdoms on the continents.
Societally, the text asserts that the four varnas of Plakṣadvīpa are the Āryakas, Kuraras, Viviṃsas and Bhāvins, respectively equivalent to the Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras of Jambudvipa.
The text additionally claims that its long-lived and virtuous inhabitants live in the company of gods and gandharvas.
