Kankāli—1 One of the fifty two Pithas situated on a burning ground near the river Kopai, where it takes a northerly course, in the district of Birbhum in Bengal The name of the goddess is Kankāli 2 For Kankāli Tilā, see Mathura Kampilya—Kampil, twenty-eight miles north-east of Fathgaḍ in the Farrukhabad district, United Provinces. It is situated on the old Ganges, between Budaon and Farrukhabad. It was the capital of Râjâ Drupada, who was king of South Pañchâla, and was the scene of Draupadî's svayamvara (*Mbh.*, Âdi P., ch. 138; *Râmâyaṇa*, Âdi, ch. 23). Drupada's palace is pointed out as the most easterly of the isolated mounds on the bank of the Buḍa-Gaṅgâ. Its identification with Kampil by General Cunningham (*Arch. S. Rep.*, I, p. 255) and by Führer (*MAI.*) appears to be correct and reasonable.
