v1.c24.31

The country that lies north of the ocean, and south of the snowy mountains, is Bhārata; for there dwell the descendants of Bharata...
The seven main chains of mountains in Bhārata are Mahendra, Malaya, Sahya, Çuktimat, Ṛiksha, Vindhya, and Pāripātra...
On the east of Bhārata dwell the Kirātas (the barbarians); on the west, the Yavanas: in the centre reside Brāhmans, Kshatriyas, Vaiçyas, and Çūdras. (*Vishnu Pur.*, trans. Wilson, II, pp. 127–9.)
