c26.5

The *Abhidhānacintāmaṇi* of Hemacandra (IV, 26) ² identifies the Muruṇḍas with the Lampākas, the Lambatai of Ptolemy. The latter were located near the source of the modern Kabul river in the region around Laghmān, and it, therefore, follows that the Muruṇḍas had a settlement in this region as well.
