Tribes in Ancient India c77.9

c77.9

No people of the name Go-Lāṅgulas are known. The *Matsya-purāṇa* reads Cōḷas and Kulyas (CXIII, 46) and the *Vāyu* Caulyas and Kulyas instead (XLV, 124). The Cōḷas (Caulyas) were a well-known people and were famous from very early times, being one of the four tribes of the far south. The Kulyas are not met with anywhere; but undoubtedly they are the same people as the Kolas mentioned more than once in the *Mahābhārata*.⁴ But the people cannot satisfactorily be identified.
