Barahakshetra

Where the seven headwaters come together and the Kosi leaves the hills through a gorge onto its fan, with an old Vaishnava tirtha to Varaha on the bank.

It is the last place the river can be crossed on anything like fixed ground; below it there is no crossing, only channels. The Karnata claim over the country east of the Kamala is thin here and shades into the Kirata hills (the campaign board).
