It is situated just below the junction of the Pain Ganga and Warda rivers, at a distance of 290 miles to the north-west of Rajamahendri, on the Godâvari, and of 280 miles from \*Dháranikota\*, on the Kistna. Its position, therefore, corresponds almost exactly with the bearing and distance of Hwen Thsang. - [Previous: c8.s2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.cunningham-1871.c8.s2.2) - [Next: c8.s2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.cunningham-1871.c8.s2.4) - [Up: c8.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.cunningham-1871.c8.s2) ## Linked texts (2) - [Vāyupurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.vayu) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Ratnāvalī](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.udayana.ratnavali) — Harṣavardhana, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.cunningham-1871.c8.s2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.cunningham-1871.c8.s2.3) · Pramāṇa
