Friends, this is a map of the whole earth today.And this is a map of the time of Mahabharata.In the Mahabharata, Dhritarashtra asks Sanjaya how does the earth look from the universe?
Then Sanjay said:
yathā hi puruṣaḥ paśyedādarśe mukhamātmanaḥ,
evaṁ sudarśanadvīpo dṛśyate candramaṇḍale.
dviraṁśe pippalastatra dviraṁśe ca śaśo mahān.
Means the way one sees his face in front of the mirror.In the same way, the earth is visible from the moon.Peepal leaves are visible in both its parts.And in one part the land looks like a rabbit.
