The Kerala country is said to have extended from Subrahmaṇya upto Janārdana and Siddhikerala to have formed a part of it. Roughly speaking, Kerala comprised the coastal region inhabited by the Malayāḷam-speaking people. But our text makes separate mention not only of two other Keralas called Haṃsa (v. 7) and Sarveśa (v. 8), but also of Malayāla (v. 15).
