India history and geography

Source: Ancient Buddhist Texts: Geography of Early Buddhism

Tīrabhukti (तीरभुक्ति) (modern Tirhut) corresponds with modern Videha: an ancient country situated in Majjhimadesa (Middle Country) of ancient India, as recorded in the Pāli Buddhist texts (detailing the geography of ancient India as it was known in to Early Buddhism).—At the time of the Buddha the Videha country was one of the eight constituent principalities of the Vajjian confederacy. Videha is identical with ancient Tīrabhukti, that is modern Tirhut. According to the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa Videha was so named after Māthava the Videgha who colonized it. It was bounded by the Kausikī (Kosi) in the east, the Ganges in the south, the Sadānīrā (the Gandak or the Rāpti) in the west and the Himalayas in the north.
