The Ananta hill may refer to Trivandrum which is known as Ananta-śayana or Anantapura. It is possible that the place is referred to by Varadarāja (17th century) whose Saṁskṛtamañjarī speaks of the southern Tīrthas called Janārdana-kṣetra, Gokarṇa-kṣetra (in the North Kanara District), Anantasena (°śayana ?)-kṣetra, and Subrahmaṇya-kṣetra. Uḍupa-pura is possibly Uḍipi, headquarters of the Uḍipi Taluk in the South Kanara District. The celebrated Vaiṣṇava saint Madhva was born at Kalyāṇapura near Uḍipi. - [Previous: c8.s3.19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.sircar-1960.c8.s3.19) - [Next: c8.s3.21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.sircar-1960.c8.s3.21) - [Up: c8.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.sircar-1960.c8.s3) ## Cites (1) - [Saṃskṛtamañjarī (Raghunātha Dāsa)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.vyakarana.ukti.samskrtamanjari-raghunatha-dasa) — Raghunātha Dāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.sircar-1960.c8.s3.20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.sircar-1960.c8.s3.20) · Pramāṇa
