Bàvarissa Màõavacàrikà Jambudãpe
Bàvarã's Students' Walk across Ancient India

The map shown above is approx. 1,600 km from East to West and 1,200 km from North to South

from Pàràyanavaggo, verses 31-38:

After hearing Bàvarã's words, the sixteen brahmin students ... set out for the North. From Måëaka to Patiññhàna first, then on to Mahissati, to Ujjenã, and Gonaddha, to Vedisa, and to the place called Vanasa, to Kosambã, and Sàketa, and Sàvatthã, the city supreme, to Setabya, and Kapilavatthu, and to the city of Kusinàrà, to Pàvà, to Bhoganagara, to Vesàlã, to the Magadhan city (Ràjagaha), and to the Pàsàõaka Shrine, delightful, it is the mind's delight.

Bàvarã had left Sàvatthã, the capital of Kosala, some time before and retired to a very remote place on the bank of the Godhàvarã River, which was about as far south as the Ariyans had penetrated at that time. There students gathered around him, including 16 who became teachers in their own right. When Bàvarã heard that a Sambuddha had arisen in the world he sent his students to question him. They first headed for Sàvatthã itself, where the Buddha had been staying, but when he saw them coming, realising that they were not mature enough, he withdrew to Ràjagaha and to the Pàsàõaka Shrine. Their walking tour covered a distance of some 1,800 kilometres.
