APPENDIX I. 297
This may, therefore, bo identified with
modern Nāgarkoil instead of Urayūr in
the Trichinopoly district.
105. Pāriyātra ...One of the Kulaparvatas in the Kumārī-
dvīpa. This may be identified with the
north-western part of the Vindhya range
extending right upto the gulf of Cambay.
106. Pāla ... ...The words Pāla and Mañjara occur in two
places in this work, and in both the places
they appear joined together, and are said
to be the Janapadas as well as mountains
situated in the Dakṣiṇāpatha. These two,
therefore, may be taken as one word and
identified with Pāl near Mahāḍ. The author
of the Periplus mentions Palaipatmai as a
sea-port in the Deccan and this is identified
by Dr. R. G. Bhandarkar with Pāl near
Mahāḍ (see Bhandarkar's History of the
Deccan. VIII.). It is quite possible that
Rājaśekhara's Pālamañjara represents the
same place. But this word certainly does
not denote the Pāla dynasty of Bengal
since Rājaśekhara locates this Pāla in the
southern India.
An alternative identification of this
obscure word may also be offered. The
Janapada Pālamañjara may represent the
Palaesimundus (of the Greeks) mentioned
in the Periplus. It is commonly iden-
tified with Pārasamudra and is supposed to
have been the capital of Ceylon. (see
Mr. N. L. Dey's Geo. Dictionary).
107. Puṇḍra ... ...Puṇḍravardhana. The district of Malda
in East Bengal.
108. Puṣkaradvīpa One of the seven Dvīpas of the world.
Jambūdvīpa is situated in the middle, while
the Puṣkara is the third from Jambū.
109. Pūrvadeśa ...Eastern India. This portion lies to the
