| 149 | Manosilā | A mountain near the Anotatta lake in the Himavanta. | I, 232; III, 379; V, 392, 423. | The word *Manosilā* means red-arsenic rock. Sven Hedin, in his *Trans-Himalaya,* Vol. II, p. 123, speaks of a Cinnabar red hill lying on the north side of a slightly indented bay of the Western shore: See, *I. A.* Vol. L. p. 162. |
| 150 | Malla | A kingdom—capital Kusāvatī. | IV, 327, 331-G. 137; V, 278. | It may correspond to the territory round about Kāsia which preserves the ruins of the old Kusāvatī and Kusīnārā. *Cf.* P. H. *A. I.*, p. 88. |
| 151 | Mallagiri | A mountain-spoken together with Paṇḍaraka and Tikūṭa. | IV, 438-G. 169. | It was probably some peak of the Kārākorum mountains which are situated, according to the *Mahābhārata*, between the Nīla and Niṣadha, *i.e.*, the Kuenlen and the Hindukush: De, *G.D.* p. 123. It is perhaps identical with the Maleus of Pliny. McCrindle, *Ancient India as Described in Classical Literature,* p. 109. |
