¹¹ "By a reference to the *Biography of Hiouen Thsang* (St. Julien I, 184) it would appear that the capital of Oḍra was 700 li to the south-west of Tāmpralipti, and as this bearing and distance agree with the position of *Jajipura*, I think that the pilgrim must have returned to *Tāmluk* from Kiraṇa Suvarṇa before proceeding to Oḍra. In the travels of the pilgrim (Julien III, 88) the bearing and distance are taken for Kiraṇa Suvarṇa, but this is perhaps a mistake as they are usually referred to the capital, which whether we place it at Jajipur or at Kaṭak, is due south of Kiraṇa Suvarṇa." *Ancient Geography of India*, p. 510.
