° A perusal ofthe map shall indicate that due to the presence of &
©\ Vaitadhya Parvat, Bharat Kshetra has been divided into two ¢&
“| parts namely Uttar Bharat (Northern Bharat) and Dakshin é
Bharat (Southern Bharat). Two great rivers Ganga and Sindhu
& (Indus) start from Chulla Hemvant Parvat and divide Bharat ‘
3 Kshetra in six parts. So Bharat has six divisions (Khand).
3% Chakravarti (King—Emperor) is called Shatkhand Chakravarti &
» as herules all the six divisions. (For further study see Jambu
