314 APPENDIX I.
Akṣu, the two tributaries of the Oxus.
This identification becomes all the more
certain when we consider that Kālidāsa
places the Kāmbojas in the widely dis-
tributed mountainous parts situated between
the Hūṇa country and the Himālayas.
The country near S'ākala or Sialkot in the
Punjab or Malwa cannot, however, re-
present the Hūṇa country of Rājaśekhara
because these places are mentioned by him
with different names. These places, more-
over, were acquired by the Hūṇa kings
Toramāna and Mihirakula after they
had invaded India, and thus cannot re-
present their original home or even earlier
settlements.
211. Hūhuka ... ...One of the countries in the northern India.
It may be identified with the northern
Kashmīr. Hiuen Thsang while entering
the valley of Kashmīr from the west,
reached a city which he calls Hu-se-kia-lo
or Huṣkara. In the Rājataraṅgiṇī Huṣ-
kapura is said to be near Varāha or Vārā-
hamūla. Huṣkara or Uskar still exists
as a village on the left or eastern bank of
the Behat. The country surrounding Huṣ-
kapura or Uskar may represent the Hū-
huka of Rājaśekhara, and presumably, this
may represent the country of Kashmir
which is otherwise omitted in the list of
North Indian countries given by Rājaśe-
khara on page 94.
212. Hemakūṭa ...This is a Varṣa Parvata, being the second
from the Mahāmeru on the southern side.
This is the principal mountain range of
the Kimpuruṣavarṣa, and is situated on
the northern side of the Himavān and the
Bhāratavarṣa. (see Kimpuruṣavarṣa).
