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.
