Vedic Reference

English

 Madhya-deśa,  the ‘Middle Country, ’ is,  according to the
Mānava Dharma Śāstra, ^1 the land between the Himālaya in
the north,  the Vindhya in the south,  Vinaśana in the west, 
and Prayāga (now Allahabad) in the east — that is,  between the
place where the Sarasvatī disappears in the desert,  and the
point of the confluence of the Yamunā (Jumna) and the Gaṅgā
(Ganges). The same authority^2 defines Brahmarṣi-deśa as
denoting the land of Kurukṣetra,  the Matsyas,  Pañcālas,  and
Śūrasenakas,  and Brahmāvarta^3 as meaning the particularly
holy land between the Sarasvatī and the Dṛṣadvatī. The
Baudhāyana Dharma Sūtra^4 defines Āryāvarta as the land east
of Vinaśana
 west of the Kālaka-vana,  ‘Black Forest, ’ or rather
Kanakhala,  near Hardvār
 south of the Himālaya
 and north
of the Pāriyātra or the Pāripātra Mountains
 adding that,  in
the opinion of others, ^5 it was confined to the country between
the Yamunā and the Gaṅgā,  while the Bhāllavins^6 took it as
the country between the boundary-river (or perhaps the Saras-
vatī)^7 and the region where the sun rises. The Mānava
Dharma Śāstra, ^8 in accord with the Vasiṣṭha Dharma Sūtra, ^9
defines Āryāvarta as the region between the Vindhya and the
Himālaya,  the two ranges which seem to be the boundaries of
the Āryan world in the Kauṣītaki Upaniṣad also.^10
The term Madhyadeśa is not Vedic,  but it is represented in
the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa^11 by the expression madhyamā pratiṣṭhā
diś,  ‘the middle fixed region, ’ the inhabitants of which are
stated to be the Kurus,  the Pañcālas,  the Vaśas,  and the
Uśīnaras. The latter two peoples practically disappear later
on,  the Madhyadeśa being the country of the Kuru-Pañcālas, 
the land where the Brāhmaṇas and the later Saṃhitās were
produced,  bounded on the east by the Kosala-Videhas,  and on
the west by the desert. The western tribes are mentioned with
disapproval both in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa^12 and the Aitareya
Brāhmaṇa, ^13 while the tradition of the Brahminization of the
Kosalas and the Videhas from the Kuru-Pañcāla country is
preserved in the former Brāhmaṇa.^14

 there is similar doubt
as to the quotation in the Nidāna of
the Bhāllavi Brāhmaṇa,  according to
the Bṛhaddevatā,  v. 23,  where see
Macdonell's note,  and cf. Bühler,  Sacred
Books of the East,  14,  3,  n.).
7) The readings are doubtful,  varying
between sindhur vidhāraṇī or vidharaṇī
and sindhur vicaraṇī or visavaṇī. The
latter expression must refer to the
Sarasvatī
 the former may,  but not
necessarily. Conceivably the Sindhu
(Indus) is meant
 for it was a great
boundary,  with Āryan tribes to the east
of it.

recognized as in the north,  for the
Buddhist texts give Usīragiri as the
northern boundary of the middle
country. See Hultzsch,  Indian Anti-

 146,  147,  who points out that
the Pāripātra Mountains are a part of
the Vindhya range in Mālvā,  and who
suggests that the western boundary was
originally the Ādarśa Mountains
 for
the reading of the manuscripts,  and
of the scholiast Kṛṣṇapaṇḍita,  in the
Vasiṣṭha Dharma Sūtra,  i. 8,  is prāg
ādarśanāt,  not adarśanāt (corresponding
with the Vinaśana of Baudhāyana
Dharma Sūtra,  i. 2,  9),  and the Mahā-
bhāṣya on Pāṇini,  ii. 4,  10,  has prāg
ādarśāt. See also for the Buddhist
‘Middle Country’ an article by Rhys
Davids,  Journal of the Royal Asiatic
Society,  1904,  83 et seq.,  with Fleet's
corrections,  ibid.,  1907,  657
 and cf.
Keith,  ibid.,  1908,  1143
 Max Müller, 
Sacred Books of the East,  32,  58,  59
Indian Empire,  1,  303,  304,  where the
extraordinary theory is adopted that
the Madhyadeśa was peopled by a new
race of immigrant Āryans,  who,  travel-
ling viâ Chitral and Gilgit,  and bringing
no women with them,  married Dravidian
women,  and produced the so-called
Āryo-Dravidians. It is quite impossible
to find any support for this theory in
Vedic literature. To say,  as is there
said,  that the ‘Vedic hymns contain
no reference to the route by which the
Āryans entered India or to their earlier
settlements on the Indus, ’ and that this
is explained by the theory of the entry
of the Vedic Indians viâ Chitral,  is to
assert absurdities. The theory is based
on the later dialects and their affinities
(see Grierson,  Indian Empire,  1,  357
et seq.)
 it can probably not be regarded
as at all valid for any period — at any
rate,  it is not cogent for the eighth
century,  B.C.
