Precious stones came from Kūṭa, Mālā (perhaps Mula-Darra in Baluchistan) and Pārasamudra which perhaps indicates Sri Lanka.⁴³ No precious stone is available near Mula but perhaps in ancient times precious stones from Iran coming through Mula pass gave the place its importance. Sri Lanka is of course very famous for its precious stones.
