The *Ta-lo-pi-t'u* of the above passage has been restored as Dravida, and the name of the capital as Kāñchi-pura. Cunningham regarded the capital as being represented by Conjeveram on the river Palār,¹ and Kāñchipura seems to have been a former name of this city. Fergusson, however, thinks we must go on to Nagapatam¹ (Negapatam) and there is much in favour of this identification.
