"We can therefore attribute to an essentially mythical geography certain common Indo-Iranian conceptions: the conception of Mount Hara in the Avesta or Mount Meru or Sumeru in India; that of the seven regions of the earth: the Iranian kesvar or the Indian dvipa; that of a central region: Xanirata or Jambudvipa respectively in Iran and India; that of the Tree of all seeds in the Vourukasa sea south of Mount Hara in Iran, and of the Jambu tree south of Mount Meru in India, etc."
