APPENDIX I. 313 204. Harivarṣa ...This is the first Varṣa on the southern side of the Mahāmeru. Niṣadha is said to be the principal mountain of this Varṣa. 205. Hastināpura ...The capital of the Kurus, north-west of Delhi. It was situated on the right bank of the Ganges at a distance of 22 miles north-west of Meerut. 206. Hiḍimbā... ...A river in the western India, according to Rājaśekhara. This river may be iden- tified with Chambal or Carmaṇvatī which rises from the Vindhyas, flows through the western India and meets with the Yamunā near the Ekacakra which is adjacent to Eta- wah. This Ekacakra, it may be remembered, is situated near Hiḍimbāvana according to the Mahābhārata. Since, this river flows through the Hiḍimbā forest, it is not unnatural that it should be called by the name of Hiḍimbā. The river Hiḍimbā may also be identified, as an alternative measure, with the river Gambhīra which is a tributary of the river Śiprā in Cen- tral India. 207. Himavān ...The Himālayan range which is the prin- cipal mountain of the Bhāratavarṣa. 208. Himālaya ...Same as Himavān. 209. Hiraṇmayavarṣa This is one of the seven Varṣas consti- tuting the Jambūdvīpa or Asia. It is the second Varṣa on the northern side to the Mahāmeru. The Śveta range forms the principal mountain of this Varṣa. 210. Hūṇa ... ...One of the countries in North India. While describing the Digvijaya of Raghu, Kālidāsa mentions the country of the Hūṇas in the northern direction, and adds that it can be reached from Persia by crossing the river Vaṅkṣu (sic. Sindhu). The country of the Hūṇas, under the cir- cumstances, may be identified with the country between the modern Waksh and 40
