Ramaṭha—located by some in the land between Ghazni and Wakhan; but the claim of the Gurjara-Pratīhāra king Mahīpāla I to have defeated the Ramaṭhas (according to Rājaśekhara’s Bālabhārata or Pracaṇḍapāṇḍava) possibly suggests that they did not live so far away, even though the stanza in question may merely exhibit the poet’s skill in alliteration and no history at all.
