1) I found the following transriptions: - Airavat Kshetra (for eravat xetra) - Bharat Kshetra (for bharat xetra) 2) "According to Jain cosmology, JambÅ«dvÄ«pa (The island of the rose apple tree) is at the centre of Madhyaloka, or the middle part of the universe, where the humans reside. JambÅ«dvÄ«paprajñapti or the treatise on the island of Roseapple tree contains a description of JambÅ«dvÄ«pa and life biographies of Ṛṣabha and King Bharata. Trilokasāra (Essence of the three worlds), Trilokaprajñapti (Treatise on the three worlds), Trilokadipikā (Illumination of the three worlds) and Ká¹£etrasamasa (Summary of Jain geography) are the other texts that provide the details of JambÅ«dvÄ«pa and Jain cosmology. Madhyaloka consists of many continent-islands surrounded by oceans, first eight whose names are :- Continent/ Island Ocean JambÅ«dvÄ«pa Lavanoda (Salt - ocean) Ghatki Khand Kaloda (Black sea) PuskarvardvÄ«pa Puskaroda (Lotus Ocean) VarunvardvÄ«pa Varunoda (Varun Ocean) KshirvardvÄ«pa Kshiroda (Ocean of milk) GhrutvardvÄ«pa Ghrutoda (Butter milk ocean) IkshuvardvÄ«pa Iksuvaroda (Sugar Ocean) NandishwardvÄ«pa Nandishwaroda Mount Meru is at the centre of the world surrounded by JambÅ«dvÄ«pa, in form of a circle forming a diameter of 100,000 yojans. JambÅ«dvÄ«pa continent has 6 mighty mountains, dividing the continent into 7 zones (Ksetra). The names of these zones are: Bharat Kshetra Mahavideh Kshetra Airavat Kshetra Ramyak Hairanyvat Kshetra Haimava Kshetra Hari Kshetra The three zones i.e. Bharat Kshetra, Mahavideh Kshetra and Airavat Kshetra are also known as Karma bhoomi because practice of austerities and liberation is possible and the Tirthankaras preach the Jain doctrine. The other four zones, Ramyak, Hairanyvat Kshetra, Haimava Kshetra and Hari Kshetra are known as akarmabhoomi or bhogbhumi as humans live a sinless life of pleasure and no religion or liberation is possible."

In Jambu island, there are 7 such Kshetra. Between each two Kshetras are one Varshdhar, i.e. a mountain. There are 6 such big mountains. The names of these 7 Kshetras are: (1) Bharat Kshetra (2) Hemvant Kshetra (3) Hari Varsh Kshetra (4) Mahavideh Kshetra (5) Ramyak Kshetra (6) Hiranya Vant Kshetra (7) Airavat Kshetra The Mahavideh Kshetra is in the middle of Jambu Dwip. In the South of it are Bharat, Hemvant and Hari Varsh Kshetras and in the north of it are Ramyak, Hiranya Vant and Airvat Kshetra. (1) Bharat Kshetra : The God Bharat is the chief of this Kshetra. His life-span is one ‘Palyopam’ years. Because of the God Bharat, this Kshetra is known as Bharat Kshetra. We all live here in Bharat Kshetra. (2) Hemvant Kshetra : This is located between two big mountains called Himvant and Maha Himvant Varshdhar. Hem is Gold. Here, all the equipments are golden. The twins sitting of series of rocks look golden. Hence, this is Hemvant Kshetra. (3) Hari Varsh Kshetra : Hari means both Sun the twins here look golden where as the others are silver in their brightness. Hence Hari Varsh Kshetra. (4) Mahavideh Kshetra: Videh means body. The size of the body in this Kshetra is comparatively bigger, hence Maha (big) Videh. Besides, the size and area of this Kshetra as compared to others is also bigger. Here religion ins the order of the day. The state of mind is also better as belonging to 4th Ara. (5) Ramyak Kshetra : The twins of this region have been playing and enjoying in the ________ place of Heavenly tree with golden jewelry on it. That is why, it is known as Ramyak Kshetra. (6) Hirnyavant Kshetra : The Rukmi mountain is silver made, and the Shikhari mountain is made of gold. This Kshetra is located between the two, hence the peaks look golden. Hence, Hiranyavant Kshetra. (7) Airavat Kshetra : The chief of this Kshetra Airavat Kshetra is God Airavat. Hence Airavat Kshetra. All the arrangement are like those in Bharat Kshetra."

Now, researchers have slowly begun to solve this enigma. Three research teams formed by LD Institute of Indology and US-based New York Jain Centre have identified five places in the Himalayas, mostly in the region close to Mount Kailash, that match description of Ashtapada mountain in Jain scriptures. Tirthankar Rushabhdev, according to studies carried out by the teams, could have died after attaining liberation at any of the five places. The three teams comprised researchers, ISRO and PRL scientists, a Jain muni and historians. Some of their key members and other people who initiated and supervised the exploration shared their findings, including satellite and spot pictures, at a seminar on Sunday.

The place near Mount Kailash where he attained nirvana remains a mystery, with many studies yielding different hypotheses."
