In the epics, mountains are of two types – Varshaparvata and Kulaparvata. The borders of kingdoms were varshaparvatas and the ones inside were kulaparvatas. Kulaparvatas were seven – Pariyatra, Mahendra, Vindhya, Sahya, Malaya, Riksha, Shaktiman as per Mahabharata Bhishmaparva Chapter 9 verse 11. But the scriptures differ on their exact locations.
