v2.c13.336

It is to be noted that Kātyāyana associates these ways with merchants, and Milindapañha agrees in a way, substituting seekers of wealth for merchants. The Vimānavatthu definitely associates them with oversea countries, agreeing in this respect with Niddesa and Bṛhatkathā-śloka-saṃgraha. The Purāṇas also mention them in connection with countries outside India.
