On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v2.c21.s16.4

v2.c21.s16.4

A note to our text tells us that another name for the country was *Chih* (枳)-mo-lo, not *Ki-mo-lo* as some editors represent. Cunningham says that "the province of Malakuṭa must have included the modern districts of Tanjor and Madura, on the east, with Coimbator, Cochin, and Travancore, on the west".¹ The remarks of Fergusson on this part of our pilgrim's text are of little value, partly because he was misled by Julien's vagaries. ²
