Cīna

Cīna

Cīna is a land named twice in the third Khaṇḍa of the Pratisarga Parva of the Bhavishya Purāṇa.

Sūta tells that King Śālivāhana, grandson of Vikramāditya, won victory over the armies of the Śaka, Cīna and other lands.

When the Agnivaṃśa had spread widely, there were sixty lakh mighty bhūpālas and grāmapālakas between Kapilasthāna in the east, Bāhīka in the west, the Cīna country in the north and Setubandha in the south. In their rule the people performed agnihotra and were skilled in dhārmic acts, and it seemed everywhere to be the Dvāpara Yuga.
