India history and geography

: Ancient Buddhist Texts: Geography of Early Buddhism

Bhiruka (भिरु�) or Bhirukaccha is the name of a city named after Bhiru according to the پ屹Բ, as recorded in the Pāli Buddhist texts (detailing the geography of ancient India as it was known in to Early Buddhism).—In the پ屹Բ there is a very interesting story accounting for the name of the city. It is said that Rudrāyaṇa, King of Roruka (may be identical with Alor, an old city of Sindh), in Sauvīra was killed by his son Sikhaṇḍi. As a punishment of this crime, the realm of Sikhaṇḍī, the parricide king, was destroyed by a heavy shower of sands. Three pious men only survived—two ministers and a Buddhist monk—who went out in search of a new land. Bhiru, one of the two ministers at last found one and established a new city there which came to he named after him—Bhiruka or Bhirukaccha whence came the name Bharukaccha.

Bhrigukaccha is, however, the Sanskrit rendering which means ’high coast land� and the city is exactly situated on a high coast land. According to Brahmanical tradition, the city was so called because it was founded by the sage Bhrigu. Bhrigukaccha is mentioned in the Kūrmavibhāga and Bhuvanakoṣa; and it is identical with Barygaza of Ptolemy and the Periplus of the Erythrean Sea. It is modern Broach in Kathiawar.
