| No. | Name | Description | Reference | Identification |
| 106 | Dadhimāla | A sea—looking like milk and curds ; merchants from Bharukaccha came there seeking for riches ; silver was produced in abundance there. | IV, 140-G. 110. | According to Mr. Jayaswāl, the Dadhimāla sea by the Kuśa country is evidently what we call the Red Sea, both the names having been derived from the appearance of the sea thickened by the peculiar matter which floats in it: *J. B. O. R. S.*, VI, p. 195. |
