The *Jambuddīvapannatti* is the sixth *upāṅga* which contains a description of Jambudvīpa or India. It gives us the mythical geography of the Jainas. It is a work on Jaina cosmology divided into seven sections. In the third section there is a description of Bhāratavarsa. This text with Śānticandra’s commentary has been published by the Seth Devchand Lalbhai Jaina Pustakoddhāra Samiti. Kirfel (*Cosmographie der Inder*, Bonn and Leipzig, 1920) and Glasenapp (*Der Jainismus*) have studied this text.
