Country, people or range · The Karnatas of Mithila · as at first light, 1 January 1200

Tirhut: the plain between the Gandak and the Kosi

The flat silt country north of the Ganges, held by the Karnata kings from Simraungarh and Darbhanga.

Its map is rivers: the Gandak, the Bagmati, the Kamala and the shifting Kosi; the Tirhut plain and the tarai fever belt (board). Learning is endowed in villages (the Mithila schools), not in colleges. The Purnia strip to the east is disputed with the Senas.
