part of Baluchistan may also be taken as
the Barbara country.
115. Bālhaveya ...Rājaśekhara locates this country in the
northern India. This may be the same
as Bhāṭia near Multan. Native historians
and the early Arab geographers mention
Bhātia as a strong fortress near Multan

that the Brahma country included both
the upper and lower Burma.

identifies this as the city of Brāhmaṇa
captured by Alexander, and called by the
