On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v2.c26.s2.45

The capital of Karṇa-suvarṇa was Rattamattikā (Rangāmaṭṭī, Rungamutty), some twelve miles to the south of Murshidābād (*J.A.S.B.* 1853; and *ibid.*, Part I, Vol. LXIII, p. 172). The Pundra-vardhana country lay to the north of Karṇa-suvarṇa, and Samataṭa, the delta of the Ganges, lay to the south. As Mr. Watters points out (II, 190), there is no reason to doubt the identity of the ancient port Tāmralipti with the modern Tamlūk. Mr. Watters’ identification of Śrīkshetra with the Tipperah District (II, 189) seems to be correct.
