Kampili.—This is modern Kampli, a town on the southern bank of the Tuṅgabhadrā in the Hospet taluk of the Bellary district (S.I.I., Vol. III, p. 194; Madras District Gazetteers, Bellary, by W. Francis, pp. 282ff.). Dantivarman’s grant records the donation of a village to a Buddhist monastery at Kāmpailya (E.I., VI, 287). It will not be safe to identify this Kāmpailya with Kāmpilya, the capital of Southern Pañcāla, for lack of proper evidence.
