The Geography of the Puranas c9.59

c9.59

Although the names of the provinces cannot be properly identified, the long list of provinces and the general fact that Bhadravarsa is the land of the 'yellow people' confirms that Bhadravarsa included only North China. Southern China south of the Tsing Ling mountain which was a densely forested, rugged and inaccessible region was excluded from Bhadravarsa. In fact South China was occupied by man more than a thousand years after he had settled down in North China.
