Calliena—Kalyāṇa in the Ṭhāṇa District. A Kaṇheri (Skt. *Kṛṣṇagiri*, identified by some scholars with Ptolemy’s Kalligeris) cave inscription places it in the ancient land of Aparānta. Ṭhāṇa, ancient Sthānaka, is mentioned as a centre of trade in a record of A.D. 1095. Alberunī (A.D. 1030) mentions both Sūbāra and Tāna, that is, Śūrpāraka and Sthānaka, and refers to the latter as the capital of Kunkan (Koṅkaṇ).
