Source {{I made the map myself using GIMP and one of the wiki images for Asia. Academic Sourcesː For Sthaviravada dominance in Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu see: South Asian Buddhism: A Survey By Stephen C. Berkwitz, page 56. "The Vibhajyavada sthaviras in the south...became the dominant order of monks in Sri Lanka and in the Tamil country in the Deccan" and for the source that the Sthaviravadin center was first at Avanti see AK Warder Indian Buddhism, page 280. For their presence in Kerala see: Mahavamsa: The Great Chronicle of Sri Lanka By Thera Mahanama-sthavira, page 96. For the Sammitiyas/Pudgalavadins see AK Warder Indian Buddhism, page 281 - "much more widespread and vigorous were the Sammitiyas who spread across avanti and gujarat to form their main centre in Sindhu." For Mahasamghika dominance in Andhra see: Buddhism in the Krishna River Valley of Andhra, page 41-42 and for Mahasamghika dominance in the region around Pataliputra in Bihar see AK Warder Indian Buddhism, page 281. For the Sarvastivada see AK Warder Indian Buddhism, page 280; "In the movement north and west, the Sarvastivada maintained establishments in Kosala (Sravasti) and Varanasi as well as Mathura (their main centre at first) but tended to concentrate in Gandhara and Kashmira." For the "Dharmaguptakas...Suvastu valley, north of Gandhara, which became one of their main centers" see AK Warder Indian Buddhism, page 280.}}
