tement that according to Rājaśekhara the
island of Laṅkā is situated on the western
side of the peninsula beyond Travancore,
while Siṁhala or Ceylon is on the eastern
side of it. The identification thus seems
to be improbable.
153. Lāṭa ... ...Southern Gujarat including Khandesh or
the tract of territory situated between the
river Mahī and the lower Narmadā. Ac-
cording to the Kāvyamīmāṁsā, the Lāṭas
talked in Prākṛta language and hated
Sanskrit. According to the Bālarāmāyaṇa,
also, Lāṭa is situated in the western India
to the north of the lower Narmadā.
154. Limpāka... ...Rājaśekhara places this country in North
India. Cunningham identifies (A.G. p. 49)
this with the Lapo of Hiuen Thsang and
Lambatoe of Ptolemy or the present Lam-
ghan which is a small tract of country
lying along the northern bank of the
Kabul river and bounded on the west and
east by Alingar and Kunar rivers and on
the north by the snowy mountains.
155. Lohitagiri ...One of the mountains of the eastern India.
This perhaps represents the eastern range
of the Himālayas through which the river
Lauhitya or Brahmaputra flows.
156. Lauhitya ...The river Brahmaputra.
157. Vaṅga ... ...The name Vaṅga is only applied to the
eastern portion of the delta of the Ganges
on the coast of the bay of Bengal.
158. Vañjurā ... ...Known also as Bañjulā or Mañjulā, a
tributary of the Godāvarī. The Sahyapāda
mountain or western Ghats is said to be
the source of the two rivers.
159. Vatsagulma ...According to Rājaśekhara's conception
Vatsagulma is a city in the country of
Vidarbha (see also Karpūramañjarī I.).
