Hari Kṣetra

हरि क्षेत्र

Four parts in 190, between Mahāhimavān and Niṣadha. A richer land of enjoyment than Haimavat.

The rule across the enjoyment lands is that the closer you are to Mahāvideha Kṣetra, the better things get. Hari sits one band closer than Haimavat Kṣetra, so lifespans and heights double.

Its rivers are Harit and Harikāntā. Its people live two palyopama, stand 4,000 bows tall, and take food once in two days.

Its exact mirror on the northern side is Ramyak Kṣetra.
