APPENDIX I. 311
190. S'vabhravatī ...A river in the western India. This may
be identified with the river Sābarmatī in
North Gujarat which flows into the gulf
of Cambay.
191. S'vetagiri ...This is said to be the second mountain to
the north of the Mahāmeru which is situ-
ated in the middle of the Jambūdvīpa. It
is regarded as the principal mountain of
the continent known as Hiraṇmaya Varṣa.
192. Sarayū ... ...A river in the United Provinces. The
town of Ayodhyā is situated on the bank
of this river and it meets the Ganges
near Chāprā.
193. Sarasvatī ...Rājaśekhara mentions two rivers of the
same name Sarasvatī ; one, he places in the
northern India, while the other in the
west. The first, in the north, is the
river which flows alongside Thāneśvara
and Pṛthūdaka and disappears into the
sandy desert at Vinaśana. The second, in
the west, may be identified with the river
which flows by Pattan in the Baroda terri-
tory and into the little Rann of Cutch.
The source of the latter seems to be the
hills near Udaipur where the Dhebar lake
is situated. (see Devasabhā).
194. Sahuda ... ...Rājaśekhara includes this among the coun-
tries in North India. This may represent
the western Afghanistan where the present
Safadkoh and Sabzawar are situated.
195. Sahya ... ...The northern portion of the western Ghats
situated between the river Kāverī in the
south and the Godāvarī in the north.
196. Sindhu ... ...The river Indus. Rājaśekhara locates this
in North India.
197. Siṁhala ... ...Ceylon. It is different from the Laṅkā.
(see Laṅkā).
