After the war of Kurukṣetra (Kurukshetra) when Yudhiṣṭhira (Yudhishthira)was unwilling to become the king, Draupadī (Draupadi) encouraged him, by recalling his previous achievements and powers. In this context, she said — “You have conquered the islands across the sea and also many islands between the seas, along with several others localities”. This islands located between the seas, are called Antaradvīpa (Antaradwipa). But from this mention, it is not clear where exactly these ‘internal’ islands were located.
