The Unique Position of Bhārata-varṣa
Of all the planets and regions of the universe, Bhārata-varṣa is the only place of fruitive activities. Other varṣas of Jambūdvīpa are eartlhly heavens (bhauma-svarga) where people returning from heavenly planets enjoy the remaining results of their pious activities.

Inhabitants
People of Kimpuruṣa-varṣa live approximately ten thousand years as per our present earthly calculation. This number is comparable to life duration in Bhārata-varṣa during Tretā-yuga. The inhabitants of Kimpuruṣa-varṣa are almost like demigods, possessing strong, youthful bodies that have a great capacity for sensual enjoyment. Women conceive children only during the last year of their life. The inhabitants are important leaders among the demigods and are always attended by their servants who constantly supply them and their wives with sandalwood pulp and flower garlands. Attracted by the opposite sex, they enjoy life in gardens alongside the lakes. But despite many opportunities for sense enjoyement, the inhabitants of Kimpuruṣa-varṣa do not forget their eternal position as servants of the Supreme Lord, and they worship Him in His Deity forms.

Inhabitants Worship the Lord
In Bhārata-varṣa, the Lord has appeared at Badarikāśrama as Nara-Nārāyaṇa Ṛṣi. They are engaged in austerities and teach their devotees how to achieve self-realization. Nārada Muni, the author of Nārada Pañcarātra, has taught the principles described in his book to Sāvarṇi Manu, instructing those inhabitants of Bhārata-varṣa who follow varnāśrama-dharma on how to achieve devotional service. Nārada Muni and other inhabitants of Bhārata-varṣa engage always in the service of Nara-Nārāyaṇa Ṛṣi. Their prayers are described in detail in Śrīmad Bhāgavatam Canto 5, Chapter 19, verses 11-15
