Drâviḍa—Part of the Deccan from Madras to Seringapatam and Cape Comorin: the country south of the river Pennar or rather Tripati (JRAS., 1846, p. 15). Its capital was Kâñchipura (Manu, ch. X, and Daśakumâracharita, ch. 6). It was also called Chola (Bühler's Intro. to Vikramâṅkadeva-charita, p. 27, note 7). At the time of the Mahâbhârata (Vana, 118) its northern boundary was the Godâvarî.
