In the center is the Sabbu land of Shang.
In the Kongpo district to the east is the Jonpa land.
To the south is the Sibtsen land of Mon.
To the west is the Phagri land of Go.

The three valleys are, again, according to the Chronicles of Padma:

To the southwest is the secret land of the Dremo Valley [Sikkim].
To the northwest is the secret land of the Khenpa Valley.

About the secret countries and great districts, the Chronicles of Padma further say:

-The existence of Vedic Dharma in India today is due to Sankara. The forces opposed to Vedic religion were more numerous and powerful at the time of Sankara than they are today. Still, single-handed, within a very short time, Sankara overpowered them all and restored the Vedic Dharma and Advaita Vedanta to its pristine purity in the land pure knowledge and spirituality.

-Sankaracharya occupies a very important position in the history of Indian philosophy. It can be affirmed, without any fear of contradiction, that Bharata Varsha would have ceased to be Bharata Varsha several centuries ago and would never have survived the murderous sword, the devastating fire and the religious intolerance of the successive invaders, if Sankara had not lived the life he lived and taught the lessons he taught. And those lessons are still pulsating in every cell and in every protoplasm of the true aspirant and the true Hindu.
