The Brahmapurāṇa and the Mārkaṇḍeya appear to confine Bhāratavarṣa substantially to what has been known for centuries as India when they describe it as 'to its south, west and east there is the great ocean, to its north is Himavat resembling the string of a bow.'²⁴⁸⁵ Vide H. of Dh. Vol. II. pp. 11-16 for discussion as to the limits of Āryāvarta and pp. 17-18 for Bhārata-varṣa.
