310 APPENDIX I.
Thsang was on his travels in India (c. 630
A. D.). It is probable that before his
time several Hindu kings had attacked
the S'akas and destroyed their capital at
S'ākala.
182. S'atadru... ...The river Sutlej.
183. S'ālmalidvīpa...One of the seven Dvīpas constituting the
world. This is said to be surrounded by
the ocean of Surā. According to Mr.
N. L. Dey this represents Chaldea in
Mesopotamia.
184. S'iprā ... ...A river on which Ujjayinī is situated.
185. S'uktimān ...The portion of the Vindhya range which
connects the Pāriyātra and the Ṛkṣa-
parvata. This is regarded as one of the
Kulaparvatas of the Kumārīdvīpa or India.
186. S'ūrasena ...Mathura or Muttra was the capital of the
kingdom of S'ūrasenas. Rājaśekhara in-
cludes S'ūrasena among the countries in
North India and mentions that king
Kuvinda once ruled over S'ūrasena.
187. S'ṛṅgavān ...This is said to be the third mountain to
the north of the Mahāmeru which is situa-
ted in the middle of the Jambūdvīpa. It
is regarded as the principal mountain of
the continent Uttarakuruvarṣa.
188. S'oṇa ... ...Rājaśekhara mentions S'oṇa as a Nada in
the eastern India. This is the same Sone
which meets the Ganges near Patna.
189. S'rīparvata ...Rājaśekhara locates this mountain in South
India. S'rīśaila which is situated near
Kurnool and at a distance of 50 miles from
the Kṛṣṇā station of the G. I. P. Railway
appears to be the same as S'rīparvata. It
is a sacred spot and two temples, one
dedicated to Mallikārjuna Mahādeva and
the other to Bhramarāmbā Devī, are
situated here.
