Political History of Ancient India, from the Accession of Parikshit to the Extinction of the Gupta Dynasty c15.s1.t2.22

c15.s1.t2.22

⁵ Greek *Palaesimundu*, see Ray Chaudhuri, *Ind. Ant.*, 1919, pp. 195-96, commentary on the *Kauṭilīya*, Ch. XI; *Rāmāyaṇa*, VI, 3, 21 (Laṅkā described as *sthitā* “*pāre samudrasya*”). On reading Law's *Ancient Hindu Polity* (p. 87 n.) I find that the identification was also suggested by Mr. N. L. Dey. The equation Pārasamudra = Palaesimundu is not less plausible than the equations Sātavāhana = Sālivahana; Katāha = Kaḍāram = Kiḍāram = Kantoli (pace Dr Majumdar, *Suvarṇadvīpa*, 56, 79. 168).
