The Videha country, also called Tirabhukta or Tairabhukti, is described as extending from the banks of the Gaṇḍakī as far as the Camp-āraṇya. Gaṇḍakī-tīra here appears to indicate the southern boundary of the country and the place where the modern Gaṇḍak falls into the Ganges. Camp-āraṇya is the modern Campāraṇ which seems to be the northern boundary. The name Tirabhukti still survives in the modern form Tirhut. It is the same as the Darbhanga-Muzaffarpur region of Upper Bihar to the north of the Ganges.
