24. Maṇamēlkkuḍi.—There are two places of this name. Maṇamēlkuḍi proper is a little way to the south of the mouth of the river Veḷḷār which divides Puḍukōṭṭa into two halves almost equally. There is a north Maṇamēlkuḍi a little way to the north of it. This seems to have been the limit of the advance of the Ceylonese general although he claims to have destroyed the country for two leagues northward of it.
