What happens in this skandha

Priyavrata and Rishabhadeva rule and renounce. Rishabha's son Bharata, after whom the land is named Bharatavarsha, gives up his kingdom but becomes attached to an orphaned fawn, and is born as a deer and then as a silent brahmana who teaches King Rahugana. The second half describes the cosmos: the islands and oceans of Bhu-mandala, the planets, and the hells.
