Naḷamāla, Naḷamālī.—An ocean passed by Suppāraka and his crew on their way from Bharukaccha. It looked like an expanse of reeds or a grove of bamboos. The scholiast explains that the sea was red like “scorpion-reeds” or “crab-weeds,” which are red in colour. The sea contained coral (veḷu) in its bed, and some of this Suppāraka hauled into his ship.¹
