Etymology: Coined by Xuanzang (a Chinese Buddhist monk who had travelled to India) in his book The Great Tang Records on the Western Regions [646 CE]. The Puranas divide ancient India into five regions: Pracya (Eastern India), Uttarapatha (Northern India), Aparanta (Western India), Dakshinapatha (Southern India) and Madhyadesha (Central India). 五印度 (Wǔyìndù, literally “five Indias”) is thus a term for all of India.
