The only place now well known by this name is (a) Mangal-ūr, a port on the coast of Southern Canara and chief town of that district, in lat. 12° 51′ N. In Mīr Husain Ali’s \*Life of Haidar\* it is called \*“Gorial Bunder,”\* perhaps a corr. of \*Kandiāl\*, which is said in the \*Imp. Gaz.\* to be the modern native name. \[There is a place called Gurupura close by; see Madras Gloss. s.v. \*Goorpore.\*\] The name in this form is found in an inscription of the 11th century, whatever may have been its original form and etymology. \[The present name is said to be taken from the temple of Mangalā Devī.\] But the name in approximate forms (from \*mangala\*, ‘gladness’) is common in India. One other port (b) on the coast of Peninsular Guzerat was formerly well known, now commonly called Mungrole. And another place of the name (c) Manglavar in the valley of Swat, north of Peshāwar, is mentioned by Hwen T’sang as a city of Gandhāra. It is probably the same that appears in Skt. literature (see \*Williams\*, s.v. \*Mangalā\*) as the capital of Udyāna. - [Previous: c10.9123](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.9123) - [Next: c10.9125](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.9125) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.9124](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.9124) · Pramāṇa
