c6.4

The *Bhv* was the first Purāṇa to give an account of the dynasties of the Kali age and the *Mts*, *Vy* and *Bmd* got their accounts from it, though they as well as some other Purāṇas existed before the *Bhv*. Metrical accounts of the dynasties of North India grew up gradually, composed in Ślokas in a literary Prakrit and recited by bards and minstrels. After the introduction of writing about the 7th century B.C., the accounts were composed and written down in or near Magadha in Māgadhī or Pāli. The *Bhv* appropriated the Prakrit metrical accounts and converted the Prakrit Ślokas into Sanskrit in the form of a prophecy uttered by Vyāsa. This reshaping was carried through generally but not yet completely, and revisions of the text with new inclusions were taking place from time to time. The account of the Andhras (Sātavāhanas) originally composed in North India and written in Kharosthī was incorporated into the text about the middle of the 3rd century A.D. The *Mts* borrowed the accounts from the *Bhv* during the last quarter of the 3rd century. These *Bhv* accounts, which were still in Kharosthī and cannot now be traced in the extant text of the Purāṇa, were revised during the first quarter of the 4th century and the revised text was borrowed by the *Vy* now represented by a Ms (*e* Vāyu of Pargiter) in the India Office Library. The text was revised again about the beginning of the second quarter of the 4th century and this version was adopted by the *Vy* and soon after by the *Bmd* (which may have copied from the *Vy*) and now constitutes their general versions. The *Vsn* next utilised the accounts about the end of the 4th century and condensed it in Sanskrit prose. About the 8th or 9th century, the *Bgvt* (which in the main condensed the matter in new Ślokas) drew its materials from the *Bmd* and more particularly from the *Vsn*. The *Grd*, whose date is uncertain, utilised the same materials but has a bald list of the kings in new Sanskrit Ślokas. Since those times a quiet process of small emendations in details has been at work in these Purāṇas.

c6.5.1

Some of the theories of Pargiter have been criticised. If we believe that the Brāhmī alphabet evolved out of the prehistoric Indus valley script, we should only speak of the growth of the popularity of writing and not of the introduction of writing about the 7th century B. C. The Andhras (Sātavāhanas) of the Deccan had nothing to do with the north-western region of India where the Kharoṣṭhī script was prevalent; it is, therefore, difficult to believe that the historical accounts of this royal family were originally composed in northern (north-western?) India and written in Kharoṣṭhī. The definite epochs suggested by Pargiter for the composition, revision or transmission of the particular texts are again no better than tentative. But from a study of the sections on cosmography and geography which are common to several of the Purāṇas, it appears that Pargiter is probably right as regards the chronological sequence of at least some of the Purāṇas with which he deals. As to the suggestion that the original of the historical sections of the Purāṇas was composed in Prakrit, we know that the theory has been contested by Keith,¹ though Winternitz² seems to be inclined to agree with Pargiter. It is interesting to note that the geographical sections exhibits Prakrit influence in such forms of names as भारुकच्छ, वेदभ, ऋष्यवन्त, शक्तिमन्ती, etc.

c6.5.2

It may be pointed out that the geographical sections, especially the list of janapadas, found in the Bmd, Mk, Mts, Vmn and Vy practically follow the same draft. The original draft seems to have been compiled for Mts. The Vy text appears to be the earliest copy from that of the Mts. The Mk probably copied the text from the Vy at a slightly later date; but a little independence of the copyist in the arrangement of names in a few cases is noticed in this text. The Bmd furnishes us with a still later copy of the Vy text. The date of this copy is possibly not far removed from the time of Al-Bīrūnī (c. 1030 A.D.) who is known to have consulted a Ms of the Vy in giving a list of peoples after the Purāṇas. The Krm, which like some other Purāṇas, copies the smaller draft of the janapada list from the Vsn, has a fuller list of rivers probably after the Vy. The smaller drafts both of the list of peoples and of rivers appear to have been compiled from the bigger drafts in the Mts and Vy for the first time for the Vsn. Like that of the Bmd, the Krm text does not seem to be far removed in point of time from the date of Al-Būrūnī. The *Vmn* appears, however, to be the latest copy of the modified draft as found in the other texts. But in several cases the compiler of the *Vmn* shows a tendency to arrange the names rather independently, although in many cases he does not go much beyond the originals before him.

c6.5.3

The new readings introduced by later copyists of the original draft or its modifications appear to have been, in some cases, offered by way of inprovement or correction, and it is sometimes difficult to determine the reading of the original draft. The fact, however, that even the late *Vmn* often leaves the mistakes of the other copies as they are probably points to the absence of any determined and persistent effort on the part of the copyists to deviate from the texts before them. It should be remembered that numerous mistakes had already crept into the *Vy* text as early as c. 1030 A.D. when Al-Būrūnī consulted a *Vy* Ms. The geographical section of the *Grd* exhibits considerable freedom, though it seems to have utilised the *Mk* section known as the *Kūrma-vibhāga*. The date of the *Grd* section seems to be close to that of the *Vmn*, as both add to the old description of the Kumārīdvīpa as पूर्वे किराता यस्यान्ते पश्चिमे यवनास्तथा, a new line placing the Turuṣkas in the north and the Andhras in the south. As these Turuṣkas and Andhras appear to be no other than the Turkish Musalmans and the Kākatīyas respectively, the *Vmn* and *Grd* sections on geography could not possibly have been compiled much earlier than the 13th cenutry. The *Sv* also contains the same reference.

c6.s1.4

1. The following two lines are omitted in Mk. Mbh (VI.9, 39-40), however, has— तत्रमे कुरुपाञ्चालाः शाल्वा माद्रेय-जाङ्गलाः । शूरसेनाः पुलिन्दाश्च बोधा मालास्तथैव च ॥ मत्स्याः कुशल्याः सौशल्याः कुन्तयः कान्ति-कोशलाः । चेदि-मत्स्य-कुरुपाश्च भोजाः सिन्धु-पुलिन्दकाः ॥ As to the *janapadas* of the Madhyadeśa, Vmn has rather freely— यत्स्थाः (a—यस्याः) कुश्राः किल कुण्डलाश्च (a—कण्ड०) पञ्चालकाश्चैव (a—०काश्च) सह कौशिकश्च । वृकाः शका (a—शाका) वर्वर-कौरवाश्च कलिङ्ग-वङ्गाङ्गजनारतथैते ॥ मर्मका मध्य-देशीया (a—०देशा वा) अभीराः (a—अभीराः) शाठघधानकाः ॥

Mts—तास्विमे कुरुपाञ्चालाः; Vy, Bmd—तास्विमे कुरुपाञ्चालाः । For the Kuru country proper with its capitals at Hāstinapura in the present Meerut District and Indraprastha in the Delhi region, see Raychaudhuri, *PHAI*, 1938, pp. 19-20, 113. For the Pāñchālas with their capitals at modern Rāmnagar (ancient Ahicchatra) in the Bareilly District and Kampil (ancient Kāmpilya) in Farrukhābād, see *ibid.*, pp. 114 f.

c6.s1.6

3. Vy, Bmd, Mts—शाल्वाश्चैव स-जाङ्गलाः; Mbh—शाल्वा माद्रेय-जाङ्गलाः । For the six branches of the Śālva tribe, cf. Vj, 1.3.I. 38-39—साल्वास्तु कारकुत्सी (Ac—क्षी) यास्तेषां त्ववयवाः परे । उदुम्बरास्तिलखला महा-(द्र)कारा युगन्धराः । हु(भु)लिङ्गाः शरदण्डाश्च षट् साल्वावयवा इमे ॥ For the traditional verse referring to the constituting elements of the Śālva or Kārakukṣīya tribe that lived in the Punjab and the adjoining regions of U.P. and Rajputana, quoted by grammarians, cf. *Pre-Aryan and pre-Dravidian in India*, p. 80. Jāngala is apparently the same as Kuru-Jāngala near the Sarasvatī. See Raychaudhuri, *op. cit.*, pp. 19 f.

c6.s1.7

4. Vy, Bmd, Mts—शूरसेना भद्रकाराः; Mbh—शूरसेनाः पुलिन्दाश्च । The Bhadrakāras are apparently the same as the Madrakāras who were a branch of the Śālva tribe (supra, note 3) and inhabited the north-eastern part of the Punjab or the adjoining regions. The Śūrasenas were a branch of the Yādavas and lived about Mathurā. See Raychaudhuri, *op. cit.*, pp. 117 f.

c6.s1.8

5. Vy *acde*, Bmd—बोधाः शतपथेश्वरेः; Vy *b*—बोधाः सह पथेस्वरैः; Mts—बाह्याः सहपटच्चराः; Mbh—बोधा मालास्तथैव च । The Paṭaccaras are मत्स्याः किराताः कुल्यश्च¹ कुन्तयः काशि-कोशलाःः² । आवन्ताश्च भुलिङ्गाश्च³ मगधाश्चान्धकैः सह⁴ ।। मध्यदेश्या जनपदाः⁵ प्रायशोमी प्रकीर्त्तिताः⁶ ।।

c6.s1.9

known from Grd, I, 55, 11—पञ्चालाः कुरुवो मत्स्या यौधेयाः सपटच्चराः । कुन्तयः शूरसेनाश्च मध्यदेशजनाः स्मृताः । For the Yodheya or Yaudheya tribe of Grd, see Raychaudhuri, *op. cit.*, pp. 457-58. The territories of the Yaudheyas included the Bayana region of Bharatpur and Johiyabar on the Satlaj. The Paṭaccaras are believed to have occupied parts of the Allahabad and Banda Districts.

c6.s1.10

1. Vy *a*—वत्साः किसल्वाः कुल्यश्च, *b*—वत्साः किसद्याः कुल्यश्च, *c d e*—वत्साः किसण्णाः कुल्यश्च, *c* (v.l.) *e* (v.l.)—वत्साः किसष्टाः कुल्यश्च, *e* (v.l.) वत्साः किसज्याः कुल्यश्च; Bmd—वत्साः कुसट्टा कुल्यश्च; Mk—मत्स्याश्वकूटाः कुल्यश्च ; Mts—मत्स्याः किराताः कुल्यश्च । The first name is either Matsya (Jaipur-Alwar region) or Vatsa (Allahabad region). Cf. Raychaudhuri, *op. cit.*, pp. 111 f. Kirāta=Himalayan mountaineers ; cf. the name of the Kirāntis who once reigned over a large portion of Nepal. The Kulyas were probably the people of the present Kulait region on the upper Rāvi.

c6.s1.11

2. Vy, Mk, Bmd, Mts—कुन्तलाः काशिकोशलाः ; Mts *c* (v.l.)—कुन्तयः काशिकोशलाः; Mbh—कुन्तयः कान्तिकोशलाः. The reading कुन्तयः is supported by Grd, I, 55, 11, quoted at p. 21 n. 5. The Kuntis were a branch of the Yādava tribe living apparently not far from the Mathurā region. The Kāsis lived about Vārāṇasi (Binaras). This Kosala is Uttara-Kosala with its capital at Ayodhyā (in the Fyzabad Dist.). See Raychaudhuri, *op. cit.*, pp. 8 ff., 84 ff.

c6.s1.12

3. Mts—आवन्ताश्च कलिङ्गाश्च; Mk *a c* (v.l.)—अथर्वाश्च कलिङ्गाश्च, *b*—अथर्वाचार्कलिङ्गाश्च, *c*—अथवाचाकलिङ्गाश्च, *d*—अर्बुदाश्चार्कलिङ्गाश्च; Bmd—प्रथमाश्च कलिङ्गाश्च; Vy *ae*—अर्थपाश्च तिलङ्गाश्च, *cde* (v.l.)—अथ पार्श्वे तिलङ्गाश्च, *b*—अर्थयाश्वपुःलिङ्गाश्च (sic. अर्थपाश्च भुलिङ्गाश्च). The Bhulingas were a branch of the Śālva tribe; cf. p. 21 note 3. The Āvantas are apparently the same as the Avantis who lived in West Malwa and had their chief city at Ujjain. Cf. Raychaudhuri, *op. cit.*, pp. 122-23.

c6.s1.13

4. Mk—मलकाश्च वृकैः सह ; Bmd, Vy *acde*—मगधाश्च वृकैः सह, *b*—मषकाश्च वृकैः सह; Mts—मूकाश्चैवान्धकैः सह. Magadha=Patna and Gaya Districts of Bihar; cf. Raychaudhuri, *op. cit.* p. 94 ff. The Andhakas were a branch of the Yādava tribe and possibly lived originally not far from Mathurā. Later they appear to have migrated towards Kathiawar.

c6.s1.14

5. Mk—मध्यदेश्या जनपदाः ; Vy, Bmd, Mts—मध्यदेशा जनपदाः. Cf. 37, n. 5.

c6.s1.15

6. Mk, Vy, Bmd—प्रायशोमी प्रकीर्त्तिताः ; Mts—प्रायशः परिकीर्त्तिताः.

c6.s1.17

1. The following lines including those referring to Govardhana are omitted in some of the *Vy* Mss. The verse is quoted in *Km*.

c6.s1.18

2. *Vy a*—सह्यस्य उत्तरार्द्धे तु, *cde*—सह्यस्य चोत्तार्द्धे तु, *e* (v.l.)—सह्यस्य चोत्तार्द्धे तु; *Mk a*—सह्यस्य चोत्तरे यस्तु, *bcd*—सह्यस्य चोत्तरे यास्तु; *Bmd*—सह्यस्य उत्तरान्ते तु. Sahya=the Western Ghats excluding the Travancore hills.

c6.s1.19

3. *Mk, Vy, Bmd*—यत्र गोदावरी नदी; *Mts*—तत्र गोदावरी नदी. The Puranic passage further refers to the holy place called Govardhana near Nasik on the Godāvarī river. Cf. p. 51, n. 6.

c6.s1.20

4. *Vy, Bmd*—पृथिव्यामिह कृत्स्नायां; *Mk, Mts*—पृथिव्यामपि कृत्स्नायां.

c6.s1.21

5. *Mk, Vy, Bmd, Mts*—सप्रदेशो मनोरमः

c6.s1.22

6. *Mk, Vy ac, Bmd, Mts, Vmn*—वाह्लीका वाटधानाश्च, *Vy b*—वाह्लीका वाठवानाश्च, *de* (v.l.)—वाह्लीका वाटधानाश्च. Valhīka=modern Balkh region in the northern part of Afghanistan. The Vāṭadhānas lived in the Punjab-Rajasthan region and had a settlement at Madhyamikā near Chitor (Mah, II, 29,7). See Motichandra, *Geog. Ec. Stud.*, pp. 27-28, 31-32.

c6.s1.23

7. *Mk, Vy, Bmd, Mts*—अभीराः कालतोयकाः; *Vmn a*—अभीराः कालतोयदाः, *b*—अभिराः कालतोयदाः. For the Ābhiras who lived to the north of the Rajputana desert, see Sircar, *Suc. Sāt.* pp. 242 f. We may also think of Abiravān between Herat and Kandahar which may have been the original home of the Ābhīras. In the 3rd century A.D., there was an Ābhīra kingdom in the north-western Deccan. Kālatoyaka=Kalāt in Baluchistan.

c6.s1.24

8. *Mk*—अपरान्ताश्च शूद्राश्च, *Vy acde, Bmd*—अपरीताश्च शूद्राश्च; *Vy b* omits शूद्र; *Mts a*—पुरन्ध्राश्चैव शूद्राश्च, *bc*—पुरन्ध्राश्चैव शूद्राश्च, *c* (v.l.)—परान्ध्राश्चैव शूद्राश्च; *Vmn*—अपरान्तस्तथा शूद्राः. The Śūdras lived near the Ābhīras; cf. Sircar, *op. cit.*, p. 242. Aparānta=Aparīta=Purandhra may be Greek Paraitakene in the lower Helmund valley. As the Śūdras are mentioned below separately (p. 25, n. 2), we may possibly suggest Kṣudra or Kṣudraka (Greek Oxydrakai) living about the Montgomery Dist. See Raychaudhuri, *op. cit.*, p. 205.

c6.s1.25

9. *Mk ad, Vy be* (v.l.)—पल्लवाश्चर्मखण्डिकाः; *Vy acde*—पल्लवाश्चर्म-खण्डिकाः; *Mk bc, Bmd*—पल्लवाश्चर्मखण्डिकाः; *Mts*—पल्लवाश्चातखण्डिकाः;

c6.s1.26

गान्धारा यवनाश्चैव सिन्धु-सौवीर-मद्रकाः² । शतद्रुजाः कुणिन्दाश्च पारदा हारहूणाः⁴ ।। रमठा रुद्धटका⁵ कैकेया दशमानकाः⁶ ।

c6.s1.27

Vmn—पल्लवाश्च सबेटकाः. Pahlava=the Pahlavis or Persians (Sasanians ?). Carmakhaṇḍika=people of Samarkand.

c6.s1.28

1. Mk acd, Vy, Bmd, Mts, Vmn=गान्धारा यवनाश्चैव; Mk b—गान्धारा गबलाश्चैव. Gandhāra=the Rawalpindi and Peshawar Districts. Cf. Raychaudhuri, op. cit., pp. 124 f. The ancient capitals of the country were Takṣaśilā in the Rawalpindi Dist. and Puṣkalāvati (Charsadda near Peshawar), and Uḍabhāṇḍapura (Und near Attock) in the early medieval period. Yavana= Indo-Greek settlements in the north-western part of India and adjoining lands. Cf. Sircar, op. cit., p. 31.

c6.s1.29

2. Mk, Bmd, Mts abe—सिन्धुसौवीरमद्रकाः ; Vy acde, Mts c (v.l.), Vmn—सिन्धुसौवीरभद्रकाः ; Vy b—सिन्धुसौवीरमद्रकाः । According to Alb. Ind., I, pp. 259-60, Sauvira included Multān and Jahrāvār which latter lay about fifty miles below the junction of the Jhelam and the Chenab. Sindhu lay to the west and Sauvīra to the east of the lower Indus. Madra= district round Sialkot (ancient Śākala).

c6.s1.30

3. Mk—शतद्रुजाः कलिङ्गाश्च ; Vy acde—शकहदाः कुलिन्दाश्च ; e (v.l.)—शकाः ह्रदाः कुणिन्दाश्च ; Bmd—शका हूणाः कलिन्दाश्च ; Mts—शका द्रुहाः पुलिन्दाश्च, c (v.l.)—शतद्रव (वः) पुलिन्दाश्च ; Vy b—शकाद्रिहा ललिताश्च. The ancient Kuṇindas are supposed to be represented by the modern Kunets of Kūlu and the Simla region; but they formerly appear to have extended upto the Shaharanpur and Ambala Districts where their coins have been discovered in large numbers. See Smith, Cat., p. 161. Satadruja= people of Satlaj valley.

c6.s1.31

4. Bmd—पारदा हारहूणाः ; Mk—पारदा हारभूपिकाः ; Vy acde—परिता हारपूरिकाः ; Mts—पारदा हारभूर्तिकाः, c (v.l.)—परेता हारभूपिकाः. Omitted in Vy b. The reading हारहूण is supported by Mbh, II, 32, 12, while Bs, XIV, 33 suggests हारहूर which is also supported by Km. The Pāradas were the Parthians who lived in the Khorasan region. The Hārahūṇas or Hārahūras were probably a branch of the Huns who subjugated the whole land from Central Asia to Central India about the end of the 5th century A. D. Motichandra locates the Hārahūras in the Herat region (op. cit., p. 66).

c6.s1.32

5. Mk—माठरा बहुभद्राश्च, Vya—रमठा रुद्धटकाः ; cde—रमटा रुद्धटकाः ; Bmd. रमणा रुद्धटकाः; Mts--रामठाः कष्टकाराश्च ; Vmn—माठरोदकत्राश्च. Omitted in Vy b. Lévi locates the Ramaṭhas between Ghazni and Wakhan (J.A., 1918, p. 126). The Ruddhaṭakas may have lived in the gold-producing Rudok area of Tibet.

c6.s1.33

6. Mk—कैकेया दशमालिकाः ; Bmd—केकेया दशमालिकाः ; Vy ac—केकेया दशमाणिकाः ; de—केकेया दशमानिकाः; Mts a—कैकेया दशमानकाः;

c6.s1.34

क्षत्रियोपनिवेशश्च¹ तथा शूद्रकुलानि च² ।। ³काम्बोजा दरदाश्चैव⁴ वर्वरा अङ्गलोकिकाः⁵ । चीनाश्चैव तुषाराश्च⁶ बहुला बाह्यतो नराः⁷ ।।

c6.s1.35

*b*—कैकैया दशनामकाः, *c* (v.l.)—कैकैया दशनामिकाः; Vmn *a*—कैकैया दशमास्तथा, *b*—कैकैया दशनास्तथा; Vy *e* (v.l.)—केशपा दशमाणिकाः. Omitted in Vy *b*. For the Kekayas, cf. Raychaudhuri, *op. cit.*, pp. 52 ff. They lived between the Jhelam and the Beas and had their capital at Girivraja (Jalālpur on the Jhelam). The Daśamānakas may have lived in the Dasht valley in Kalāt.

c6.s1.36

1. Mk, Vy *acde*, Bmd—क्षत्रियोपनिवेशश्च; Mts—क्षत्रियोपनिवेश्याश्च; Vmn—क्षत्रियाः प्रतिवैश्याश्च. Omitted in Vy *b*. For the Kṣatris (Greek Xathroi) living near the confluence of the Chenab and the Indus, see Raychaudhuri, *op. cit.*, p. 207.

c6.s1.37

2. Mk, Vy *acde*, Bmd—वैश्यशूद्रकुलानि च; Mts—वैश्याः शूद्रकुलानि च; Vmn—तथा शूद्रकुलानि च. Omitted in Vy *b*. See p. 23, note 8 above.

c6.s1.38

3. The following two lines are omitted in Mts and partly in Vy *b*.

c6.s1.39

4. Mk, Vy *acde*, Bmd, Vmn—काम्बोजा दरदाश्चैव. The Kāmbojas probably lived in the land extending from the Rajauri valley in Kashmir to the Hindu Kush. The Daradas lived round Daratpuri in the upper valley of the Kishengaṅgā in northern Kashmir. Some scholars locate the Kāmbojas near Badakhshan beyond the Hindu Kush. See Chapter IV. below.

c6.s1.40

5. Mk *abc*—वर्वरा हर्षवर्द्धनाः; Vy *acde*—वर्वराः प्रियलौकिकाः; Mk *d*, Bmd—वर्वरा अङ्गलोकिकाः; Vmn *a*—वर्वराश्चाङ्गलोकिकाः, *b*—वर्वराश्चाङ्गलोकिकाः. Aṅgaloka is also mentioned elsewhere in the Purāṇas; cf. below, p. 60, note 9. Varvara reminds one of Barbaricum, a port on the principal mouth of the Indus in the early centuries of the Christian era. But apparently the same people is also mentioned elsewhere; cf. *loc. cit.*, note 7. Aṅgaloka may be the land of the Agalassoi of the Greeks. But they lived in the land between the Jhelam and the Chenab.

c6.s1.41

6. Mk *ad*, Bmd, Vy *e* (v.l.)—चीनाश्चैव तुषाराश्च; Vy *acde*—पीनाश्चैव तुषाराश्च; Mk *bc*—चीनाश्चैव तुखाराश्च; Vmn—वेणाश्चैव तुषाराश्च. चीन = the Tibeto-Chinese peoples. तुखार, तुषार—cf. Tukhāristān of the Arabs which included the old Bactria and indicated the mountainous country on both sides of the middle Oxus as far as Badakhshan though the country to the south of the river was usually understood by the name (Wellhausen, *The Arab Kingdom and its Fall*, tr. p. 430).

Aṅga and Vaṅga appear to have been separated from Āṅgeya and Vāṅgeya through confusion (cf. below). Mudgaraka (modern Monghyr) is the same as Mudgara of Km and Mudgagiri of inscriptions. Aṅga=East Bihar and Vaṅga=South-East Bengal. For the Aṅga capital Campā near Lakhisarai in the Monghyr Dist., see JBRS, Vol. XLI, p. 150.

The reading सुह्मोत्तर is not supported by Km which reads सुह्म (the ancient name of Rāḍha in South West Bengal) and ब्रह्म or ब्रह्मोत्तर side by side. Brahmottara may be associated with the name of Burma which is derived from the Mrama, one of the three tribes that migrated into Burma and ultimately lent their name as a national designaton to all Burmese. Cf. below, p. 64 note 1. But for a Barmhattar in Sarkar Satgaon, see Jarret, op. cit., p. 141.

Note that Magadha was sometimes located in Madhyadeśa (p.22, note 4) and sometimes in Prācya. *Vj* which locates the Andhras and Sālvas (cf. p. 27, note 5,) in East India apparently relied on these erroneous texts of the Purāṇas. For Gonarda which belonged to East India only theoretically, see *JAHRS*, Vol. IX, part i, p. 1 ff., and below.

P. ed., I. 7) and with Kalacuri Karṇa according to the Bheraghat inscription (Ep. Ind., II, p. 11). Paramāra Sindhurāja (c. 995-1010 A.D.) is represented in the Navasāhasānkacarita (X, 14-20) as having defeated the Muralas. The reading of the other names and their location are uncertain.

1. Mk—भीरुकच्छाः समाहेयाः ; Vy *acd*—भानुकच्छाः समाहेयाः ; Bmd Mts, Vy *e* (v. 1.)—भारुकच्छाः समाहेयाः ; Vmn—दारुकच्छाः सुमाहेयाः ; Vy *be*—भानुकच्छाः समाहेयाः. The Prakritism in the form भारुकच्छ (Pāli भरुकच्छ) for the Sanskritic भृगुकच्छ is interesting to note. Bhṛgukaccha=Broach. Māheya=people of the Mahi valley. Both the tracts are in Gujarat.

c6.s1.114

2. Mk, Vmn, Vy *b*—सह सारस्वतैरपि ; Mts—सह सारस्वतैस्तथा, Vy *acde*, Bmd—सहसा शाश्वतैरपि. Sārasvata=people of the Sarasvati (Sarsuti) valley in the Eastern Punjab or in Gujarat (cf. Jarrett, *An-i-Akabari*, p. 229).

c6.s1.115

3. Mk—काश्मीराश्च सुराष्ट्राश्च ; Vy, Bmd—कच्छीयाश्च सुराष्ट्राश्च ; Mts *a*—कच्छीकाश्चैव सौराष्ट्राः, *bc*—काच्छीकाश्चैव सौराष्ट्राः ; Vmn—वातसीयाश्च सुराष्ट्राश्च. Kacchiya=people of Kutch. Surāṣṭra=South Kathiawar.

4. Mk *acd*, Vmn—आवन्त्याश्चार्बुदैः सह, Mk *b*—अवन्त्याश्चार्बुदैः सह; Vy *acde* (v.l.)—अनन्ताश्चार्बुदैः सह ; Bmd, Vy *e*—आनर्ताश्चार्बुदैः सह; Mts—आनर्ता अर्बुदैः सहः ; Vy *b*—अनर्ता हृद्बुदैः (sic) सह. Anarta=district round Dvārakā. Arbuda=Mount Abu in Rajasthan.

c6.s1.117

5. Mk, Vy *e* (v.l.)—इत्येते ह्यपरान्ताश्च ; Vy *acde*, Bmd—इत्येते सम्परीताश्च; Mts—इत्येते अपरान्तास्तु. Vmn has rather freely—इत्येते पश्चिममाशां स्थिता जानपदा जनाः.

c6.s1.118

6. Mk *acd*—शृणु विन्ध्यनिवासिनः, *b*—शृणु विन्ध्यनिवासिनः ; Vy *acde*, Bmd—शृणुध्वं विन्ध्यवासिनः; Mts—शृणु ये विन्ध्यवासिनः.

c6.s1.119

7. Vy *b* omits several lines and makes the *janapadas* mentioned in the following two Sections as those belonging to the West. See p. 31, note 3.

c6.s1.120

8. Mk *a*—सरजाश्च करुषाश्च, *bcd*—सरजाश्च करुषाश्च ; Vy *acde*, Bmd, Mts—मालवाश्च करुषाश्च ; Vmn—कारूषाश्चैकलव्याश्च; Vy *b*—मलदाश्च करुषाश्च. See p. 28, note 3. The Mālavas (Malloi of the Greeks) lived on the lower Irāvati (Rāvi) in the Punjab in the fourth century B.C. Later they are found settled in Rajputana and ultimately they gave their name to modern Malwa in Central India. Kārūṣa, which is also called Bṛhadgṛha, is the same as the present Shahabad District of Bihar. The Maladas probably lived to the west of the Kārūṣas and to the east of Prayāga (Allahabad). Lama Tāranātha who locates a Mālava country near Prayāga seems to have confused the Maladas with the Mālavas of Western India on the strength of erroneous Puranic passages quoted in the present note. cf. Bhandarkar's List, No. 1068.

c6.s1.121

9. Mk—केरलाश्चोत्कलैः सह ; Vy *ae*—रोकलाश्चोत्कलैः सह; Bmd, ¹उत्तमर्णा(का ?) दशार्णश्च² भोजा: किष्किन्धकै: सह³ ।। तोशला: कोशलाश्चैव⁴ त्रैपुरा वैदिशस्तथा⁵ ।

c6.s1.122

Mts, Vmn, Vy *bcd*—मेकलाश्चोत्कलै: सह. The name Mekala is still preserved in that of the present Maikal range which is the connecting link between the Vindhyas and the Satpuras and stretches from the Khairagarh area in M. P. to the Rewah region (Raychaudhuri, *Stud. Ind. Ant.*, p. 134). The Mekalas lived near the Amarkantak hills. Utkala was the western fringe of the Midnapur District and the adjoining parts of Orissa.

c6.s1.123

1. The following line is wrongly placed in Section I in Mk *d*.

c6.s1.124

2. Mk, Bmd, Vmn, Vy *d*—उत्तमर्णा दशार्णश्च ; Vy *ace*—उत्तमर्णा दशार्णश्च, *b*—उत्तमर्णा बशार्णश्च; Mts—औण्ड्रा माषा दशार्णश्च. Daśārṇa formed parts of modern East Malwa (cf. the river of the same name at p.47, n.4) and the adjoining regions. It was also known as Ākara and had its capital at Vidiśā. The Uttamakas may be the Uttamabhadras of the Pushkar region.

c6.s1.125

3. Mk—भोज्या: किष्किन्धकै: सह ; Vy, Bmd, Mts—भोजा: किष्किन्धकै: सह ; Vmn—गोप्ता किकरवै: सह. The Bhojas originally lived in Berar but later founded a kingdom in the Goa region. The Kiṣkindhakas may be the people of Kekind in Jodhpur (Bhandarkar’s List, Nos. 199, 208, 1009) or of the Ramayanic Kiṣkindhyā identified with the Raichur-Bellary area of Mysore and the adjoining regions. In any case, *Vindhya* is used in a wide sense.

c6.s1.126

4. Mk, Vmn *b*—तोशला: कोशलाश्चैव; Vy *acde*—तोसला कोसलाश्चैव; Bmd—तोसला: कौशलश्चैव; Vmn *a*—तोशला शोकलाश्चैव; Mts *ac*—स्तोशला कोसलाश्चैव, *b*—स्तोशला कौसलाश्चैव ; Vy *b* -recognises कोसल only. Both the names could be spelt either with the dental or with the palatal sibilant. Tośala was no doubt the district round the city of Tośali (modern Dhauli, near Bhubaneswar in the Puri District, Orissa). In the early medieval period, the Tośala *janapada* is known to have been divided into Uttara-Tośala and Dakṣiṇa-Tośala. Kośala here is no doubt Dakṣiṇa-Kośala, identified with the modern Raipur-Bilaspur-Sambalpur region of M. P. and Orissa. See Raychaudhuri, *PHAI*, pp. 252, 452.

c6.s1.127

5. Mk *a*—त्रैपुरा वैदिशस्तथा, *bcd*—त्रैपुरा वैदिशस्तथा ; Vy—त्रपुरा वैदिकास्तथा; Bmd, Mts—त्रैपुरा वैदिशास्तथा ; Vmn—त्रैपुरा: खेलिशास्तथा. The Traipuras were the people of Tripura or Tripuri, modern Tewar in the Jabalpur District. The Vaidiśas were the people of Vidiśā, modern Besnagar near Bhilsa in M. P.

c6.s1.128

तुम्बुरास्तम्बुराश्चैव (तुम्बानास्तम्बवनाश्च?)¹ पटवो निषधैः सह² ॥ ³अनूपास्तुण्डिकेशाश्च⁴ वीतिहोत्रा अवन्त्यः⁵ ॥

c6.s1.129

1. Mk *abc*—तुम्बुरास्तम्बुलाश्चैव, *d*—तुम्बरास्तम्बुलाश्चैव ; Vy *acde*, Bmd—तुम्बुरास्तम्बुराश्चैव; Mts *a*—तुम्बरास्तम्बराश्चैव, *bc*—तुमुवास्तम्बराश्चैव; Vmn—तुरगास्तम्बराश्चैव; Vy *b*—थर्पुरास्तम्बुराश्चैव. One of the names appears to be a mistake for तुम्बवन, modern Tumain in the Guna Dist., M. P. The other locality may be Tummāna (=Tumān), 45 miles north of Ratanpur in the Bilaspur Dist., M. P.

c6.s1.130

2. Mk *a*—पटवो निषधैः सह, *bc*—पटवो नैषधैः सह, *d*—पटवी नैषधैः सह; Vy *acde*, Bmd—पट्टसुरा निषधैः सह; Vy *e* (v.l.)—पट्टसुराः नैषधैः सह; Mts *ab*—पद्गमा निषधैः सह, *c*—पद्गमा नैषधैः सह; Vmn *a*—वहेला निषधैः सह, *b*—वहेला नैषधैः सह; Vy *b*—षत्तुमानाः पधैः सह. The Niṣadhas are associated with the Pāriyātra. They probably lived about Nalapura, modern Narwar in the Shivapuri Dist., M. P. The other people's name and location are uncertain.

c6.s1.131

3. The following four lines are omitted in Vy *b*.

c6.s1.132

4. Mk *abcd*—अन्नजास्तुण्डिकाराश्च, *c* (v.l.)—अनूपास्तुण्डिकेशाश्च; Vy *acde*, Bmd, Vmn—अनूपास्तुण्डिकेशाश्च; Vy *e* (v.l.)—अणुपास्तुण्डिकेशाश्च; Mts—अरूपाः शौण्डिकेशाश्च. Omitted in Vy *b*. Anūpa was on the Narmadā with the city of Māhiṣmati (modern Māndhātā in the Nimār District, M. P.) as its capital. The Haihaya king Arjuna, son of Kṛtavīrya, ruled at Māhiṣmati. Like the Bhojas, Vītihotras and Avantis mentioned in the Section, the Tuṇḍikeras were a branch of the Haihayas. According to the Purāṇas (Mts, 43, 48-49; Vy, 94, 51-52; Bmh, 13, 203-04; Pdm, Sṛṣṭi-khaṇḍa, 12, 35-36; Hv, I, 33, 51-52), the Haihayas were subdivided into five clans, viz., Vītihotra (wrongly called वीरहोत्र in some texts), Bhoja, Avanti, Tuṇḍikera (called कुण्डिकर, तौण्डिकर and तुण्डकेर in some texts) and तालजंघ. Pargiter (*AIHT*, p. 98, etc.) refers to the name of the Haihaya clan श्याति read in some texts as सुरताः, सब्जाताः, असंख्याताः, सुजाताः, etc. The Haihayas were themselves a branch of the Yādavas. See, e. g., Vsn, IV, Ch. II, Sections i ff.

c6.s1.133

5. Vy *acde*, Bmd—वीतिहोत्रा ह्यवन्त्यः; Mk—वीरहोत्रा ह्यवन्त्यः; Mts—वीतिहोत्रा अवन्त्यः; Vmn—वीतिहोत्रास्त्ववन्त्यः. Omitted in Vy *b*. The Avanti people lived in West Malwa and the Vītihotras probably on the Narmadā to the south of the Avantis.

c6.s1.134

एते जनपदाः सर्वे¹ विन्ध्यपृष्ठनिवासिनः² ॥

c6.s1.135

अतो देशान् प्रवक्ष्यामि³ पर्वताश्रयिणश्च ये⁴ । निराहारा हंसमार्गाः⁵ कुरुवस्तङ्गुणाः खसाः⁶ ॥ कर्णप्रावरणाश्चैव⁷ हूणा दार्वाः स-हूकाः⁸ ।

c6.s1.136

1. Mk, Vy, Bmd—एते जनपदाः सर्वे; Mts—एते जनपदाः ख्याताः. Vmn has rather freely—सुकेशा विन्ध्यमूलस्थास्त्वमे जनपदा स्थ(b-स्मृ)ताः:

c6.s1.137

2. Mk, Vy, Bmd, Mts—विन्ध्यपृष्ठनिवासिनः

c6.s1.138

3. Mk, Vy acde, Bmd, Mts—अतो देशान् प्रवक्ष्यामि; Vmn—आद्यान् देशान् प्रवक्ष्यामः. The reference below is to the Himalayan peoples.

c6.s1.139

4. Mk, Vy acde, Bmd, Mts—पर्वताश्रयिणश्च ये; Vmn—पर्वताश्रयिणस्तये

c6.s1.140

5. Mk—नीहारा हंसमार्गाश्च; Vy acde, Bmd—निगर्हरा हंसमार्गाः; Mts—निराहाराः सर्वगाश्च; Vmn a—निहारं हंसमार्गाः, b—निराहारा हंसमार्गाः. The Haṃsamārgas of the Himalayan region are also known from other passages; cf. below, Chapter III, Section VIII; also above, p. 26, note 8. They lived in North-West Kashmir. The name and location of the other people are uncertain.

c6.s1.141

6. Mk—कुरुवो गुर्गुणाः खसाः; Vy acde—क्षुपणास्तङ्गुणाः खसाः, e (v.l.)—कुणपास्तङ्गुणाः खसाः, क्षुपणास्तङ्गुणास्त्रसाः, क्षुपणास्तङ्गुणाः स्वसाः; Bmd—कुपथास्तङ्गुणाः खसाः; Mts—कुपथा अपथास्तथा; Vmn—कुपथास्तङ्गुणाः खशाः. These Kurus are doubtless the celebrated Uttarakurus living in the Himalayan region. The Khasas (identified with the modern Khakkas) lived about Kashmir. Mts, Vy and Bmd refer to a Himalayan locality called कुपथ or अपथ (cf. Chapter III, Section X, G). For the Taṅgaṇas, see above, p 26, note 9.

c6.s1.142

7. Mk. कुन्तप्रावरणाश्चैव; Vy acde—कुशप्रावरणाश्चैव; Bmd, Vy b—कर्णप्रावरणाश्चैव; Mts, Vmn, Vy e (v.l.)—कुथप्रावरणाश्चैव. Both कुथप्रावरण and कर्णप्रावरण situated in the Himalayan region are elsewhere mentioned in Mts, Vy and Bmd (cf. Chapter III, Section X, G and H). Rām, IV, 40, 25 locates कर्णप्रावरण in the eastern direction, probably in the eastern Himalayas.

c6.s1.143

8. Mk a—ऊर्णा दार्वाः सकृत्रकाः; bcd—ऊर्णा दार्वाः सकृत्रकाः; Vy acde—हूणा दार्वाः सहूकाः; Bmd—हूणदर्वाः बहुदकाः; Mts a—ऊर्णा दार्वाः समुद्रकाः, bc—ऊर्णा दार्वाः समुद्रकाः; Vmn—ऊर्णाः प्लुष्टाः सहूकाः; Vy b—हूणा दार्वाः सहूकाः; e (v.l.)—हूणा दार्वाः सुहूकाः, हूणा दार्वाः सहूकाः. For the Hūṇas and Dārvas, see p. 27, note 2 above. For the Hūhukas of the Himalayan region, see Chapter III, Section X, H.

Trigarta=modern Jalandhar region. For the *Sapta-mālava* or seven localities called Mālava, see Raychaudhuri, *PHAI*, p. 492 n. Mālava in our text may be the same as the country of that name identified with the cis-Satlaj districts of the Punjab together with some Himalayan territory.
