How many Vijays in Mahavideh?

The River Sitoda flows from Tigichhdrah of Niksadh mountain. It flows in the middle of west Mahavideh Kshetra and reaches to Lavan ocean. This divides west Mahavideh Kshetra into two divisions. Likewise the river Sita flows from Kesaridrah of Nilkanth mountains and reaches Lavan ocean flowing in the middle of east Mahavideh Kshetra. Thus east Mahavideh is also divided into two sections by this river thus, in 4 section there are 8 Vijayas; and between each Vijay there is a river and a mountain.

After each Vijay, there is a big mountain, then there is a big river. Thus, there are totally 32 Vijays are in Mahavideh Kshetra. In Jambu Dwip there are 34 Chakravarti Vijayas of which 32 from Mahavideh and one each from Bharat and Airvat Kshetra.
