Studies in the Geography of Ancient and Medieval India c25.5

c25.5

The reference to the four localities—Vāmanasvāmin in the west, Brahmaśilā in the east, Gādhipura in the north and Kālapriya in the south—is very interesting to the student of the historical, geography of ancient India, especially when we know that the author of the *Kāvyamīmāṃsā* lived for long at Kanauj, the capital of his Pratīhāra patrons. In the notes appended to the G. O. S. edition of the above work (pp. 243-44), it has been suggested that the said four localities were situated respectively in the western, eastern, northern and southern suburbs of the city of Kanauj.
