Each planetary system is represented with many global spherical planets.
It is all these planetary systems, spread out within this single universe, that have the appearance of a "vast flat disc of global planets".
This "flat disc" made of innumerable planets, ARE the 14 different planetary systems that are collectively called "Bhu-Mandala."
Bhu-Mandala is almost the diameter of our 4 billion mile single universe, it is NOT our small earth globe.
The planets themselves within each system are round globes, they are NOT flat in anyway.
In this way the 14 planetary systems, collectively known as Bhu-Mandala, is almost the size of our 4 billion mile diameter universe.
Bhu-Mandala is not to be confused with our round global spherical earth we live on.
The 14 different Planetary systems, along with Garbhodakashayi Vishnu and Lord Brahma, are all situated very deep inside of our surrounding outer Brahmanda shell, (almost spherical shaped) greater universe that originates from the Body of Maha Vishnu.
NONE of these planets within those systems are a flat like a pancake!
The global planets in our universe are seen in painting below. The planets in outer space are called dvīpas.
"Dvipa" means both Island in the ocean and global planet in outer space.
Our massive Brahmanda, that our smaller single universe known as Bhu-Mandala with its 14 planetary systems, is deep within, originates from the pours of Maha Vishnu along with billions of other Brahmandas that also have a secondary universe deep within it.
The Earth planet is a "round global sphere" in the ocean of outer space, it is NOT flat as the misinformed foolishly believe, Srila Prabhupada tells us this.
Srila Prabhupada - "On the ground our earth looks flat but when you go up you will see our Earth planet is a ball, a global sphere" (Lecture New York 1966.)
The sanskrit word "Dvīpa" has two meanings -
1 - "Islands" or "continents"
2 - "But also round planetary globes or spheres" situated in the ocean of outer space Srila Prabhupada explains.
Srila Prabhupada - "The planets are called dvīpas. Outer space is like an ocean of air. Just as there are islands in the watery ocean, these planets in the ocean of space are called dvīpas, or islands in outer space" (Chaitanya Caritamrita Madhya 20.218, Purport)#
