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.
