c13.15
The *Vāyu* and *Matsyapurāṇas* locate the Śālvas amongst the central peoples (i.e. Madhyadeśa); but the *Viṣṇupurāṇa*³ places them in the extreme west, along with the Sauvīras, Saindhavas, Hūṇas, Śākalas, Madras, etc.; and the *Brahmapurāṇa* (Chap. 19, 16–18) also locates them in the Aparānta or western country. In the Bengali recension of the *Rāmāyaṇa* (Kiṣk. Kāṇḍa, XLIII, 23) also they are classed among the western nations.
