In the Akitti Jātaka (Jāt., IV, 238) as well as in the Ceylonese chronicles, Dipavaṃsa and the Mahāvaṃsa, mention is made of the Damiḷaraṭṭha or the kingdom of the Damiḷas. The Damiḷas are, however, identified with the Tamils. Kāviripaṭṭaṇa was a sea-port town in the Damiḷa kingdom which is generally identified either with the Malabar coast or Northern Ceylon.
