*Śibsāgar*.—It possibly formed part of the old kingdom of Kāmarūpa. The district of Śibsāgar in Assam is bounded on the north by the districts of Darrang and Lakhimpur, on the east by Lakhimpur and hills occupied by the tribes of the independent Nāgās, on the south by these hills and by the Naga Hills district and on the west by Nowgong district. Śibsāgar falls into three natural divisions. The most populous and important portion is a wide and healthy plain lying between the Naga Hills and the Brahmaputra. The Brahmaputra and the Dhansiri are the famous rivers in this district.
