Mūlasthāna (*Mūlasthānapura*).—It was situated on two islands in the Rāvi. The classical writers mention it as Kaspapyros, Kaspeira, etc. Yuan Chwang visited Mou-lo-san-pu-lu (Skt. Mūlasthāna) which he located 900 li to the east of Sindh (Watters, *On Yuan Chwang*, II, 254). Cunningham has identified Mūlasthāna with Multan.
