Says Wilford of the division of Atlantis and Bhârata or India, confusing the two accounts and Priyavrata with Medhâtithi: “This division was made by Priyavrata.... He had ten sons, and it was his intention to divide the whole world between them equally.... In the same manner Neptune divided the Atlantis between his ten sons: one of them had ... the extremity of the Atlantis”—which “is probably the old continent, at the extremity of which is Gades.... This Atlantis was overwhelmed with a flood; and it seems that by the Atlantis, we should understand the antediluvian Earth, over which ten princes were born to rule, according to the mythology of the West [and of the East, also] but seven of them only sate upon the throne.” (Op. cit., viii. 286.)
