These twenty-four sacred sites [e.g., Harikela] correspond to twenty-four places on the human body and act in conjunction with yogic practices.鈥擳hey are known in Sanskrit as: 肠补迟耻谤惫颈峁兣沘迟颈-辫墨峁环补 and in Tibetan as: gnas nyi shu rtsa bzhi.

: MDPI Books: The Ocean of HeroesHarikela (啶灌ぐ啶苦啷囙げ) is the name of 艢ma艣膩na (category of holy sites), according to the 10th-century 岣屇乲膩r峁嘺va-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Sa峁僾ara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.鈥擜ccordingly: 鈥淣ow, [the Blessed One] has taught [holy sites] such as the 艣尘补艣腻苍补 and upa艣尘补艣腻苍补 in sequence. [...] (9) Mummun墨 is a 艣尘补艣腻苍补 [site] Caritra, Harikela, and M膩y膩pur墨 are also the 艣尘补艣腻苍补 [sites]. (10) The upa艣尘补艣腻苍补 [sites] are the base of a mountain, a dead village, Surapura, and Kar峁嚹佱弓ap膩峁璦ka.

India history and geography
: Shodhganga: Legacy of Buddhism in BengalHarikela (啶灌ぐ啶苦啷囙げ) is another name for 痴补峁単补 (viz., Bengal, Gau岣峚).鈥敵詹贯箙g补 was originally the name of the south-eastern part of the province, but it boundaries were not well defined, and other geographical names such as Samata峁璦, Harikela,Va峁単膩la, were used for different parts, if not the whole, of it at different times during the pre-Muslim period. [...] According to Dr. Hemacandra Ray Chaudhury, however, 痴补峁単补 and Harikela were synonymous terms and Harikela, which is regarded as the eastern limit of East India by I sing, has been equated with modern Sylhet.
Harikela, Harikeli and Harikola are synonyms of Sr墨ha峁弓a or Sr墨ha峁弓ide艣a. Harikela thus, according to R. C. Majumdar, 鈥渄enoted the region now known as Sylhet鈥�. Harikela, according to I-tsing鈥檚 statement, included the south-eastern portion of Bangladesh in the second half of the seventh century A.D. It may be mentioned that I-tsing also refers to Samata峁璦 which was roughly coterminous with the present Comilla and Noakhali districts. Harikela of I-tsing should, therefore, be regarded as denoting that region of Bangladesh which lie to the east or south-east of the Comilla and Noakhali districts. The coastal region of the Chittagong district may represent Harikela of the second half of the seventh century A. D.
As has been pointed out Dr. Hemacandra and Y膩davaprak膩艣a identified 痴补峁単补 with Harikela, It may be that with the expansion of the sphere of political influence of the Candras, the name Harikela became associated with 痴补峁単补.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
