the Mahārāṣṭra country. It appears, there-

the Malwa country; its capital was Ānar-

the Himālayas in the north and the
Vindhya range in the south; and between
the eastern and western oceans.

river in the northern India.
11. Ilāvṛtavarṣa ...The country surrounding the Mahāmeru,
or the mountain situated in the middle of
the Jambūdvīpa. The Meru is said to

more in the south. Among the six, the
Bhāratavarṣa is rogarded as the third to
the south.
12. Indrakīla ...One of the peaks in the interior of the
Himālayas.
13. Indradvīpa ...One of the nine parts of the Bhāratavarṣa.

occurs in the Purāṇas, as well as in the
Kāvyamīmāṁsā which depends for its in-

this topic. Some scholars are inclined to
identify this with Burma as it is situated
in the east, the direction of Indra.
14. Ujjainī ... ...Modern Ujjain.
