Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

: Wisdom Library: Var腻ha-pur腻峁嘺

骋颈谤腻 (啶椸た啶班ぞ).鈥擭ame of a river originating from Vindhya, a holy mountain (kulaparvata) in Bh腻rata, according to the 痴补谤腻丑补辫耻谤腻峁嘺 chapter 85. There are settlements (janapada) where 膧ryas and Mlecchas dwell who drink water from these rivers.

Bh腻rata is a region south of Hem腻dri, once ruled over by Bharata (son of 峁氠梗abha), whose ancestral lineage can be traced back to Sv腻yambhuva Manu, who was created by Brahm腻, who was in turn created by N腻r腻ya峁嘺, the unknowable all-pervasive primordial being.

The 痴补谤腻丑补辫耻谤腻峁嘺 is categorised as a Mah腻pur腻峁嘺, and was originally composed of 24,000 metrical verses, possibly originating from before the 10th century. It is composed of two parts and S奴ta is the main narrator.
