² For the variations of the name Caḷukya, see *BG*, Vol. I, Part II, p. 336, fn. 3, and *IA*, Vol. XX, p. 95, fn. 10. See also *JASB*, 1895, Part 1, p. 124. Mr. B. C. Mazumdar rejects the identification of the Śūlkis with the Caḷukyas and wants to identify them with the modern Sulkis of Midnapore; see *ibid*, 1911, p. 447, and *OM*, pp. 103-06. R. D. Banerji thinks that Sūlki is the equivalent of Solāṅki, *JASB* 1911, p. 443. Hirananda Śāstrī identifies the Sūlikas with the *Saulika* of the *Bṛhatsaṁhita* and *Mārkaṇḍeya-purāṇa*, and locates them in the S. E., with Kaliṅga, Vidarbha, Cedi, etc.; see *EI*, Vol. XIV, p. 112.
