THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY.
Alboran says, "Kishkindha, the country of the monkeys."
Kóhala, (v. 1. Kôśala), a people in the northern Kshatriyas, under the term rájanya, placed division, xiv. 27. in the northern division, xiv. 28. Kshêmadhûrta, a people in the northern division, xiv. 28. Kshudramina, a people in the northern division,
xiv. 24.
Kollagiri, in the southern division, xiv. 13. It is, in all probability, the modern Kôlhâpur (properly Kôlâpur), the chief town of the Native Stato in the Southern Marâţhâ Country, which is mentioned as Kollagira in an inscription at Têrdal (Ind. Ant. Vol. XIV. p. 23).
Konkana, (v. 1. Kaunkana), a country (usually known as the Seven Konkanas) in the southern division, xiv. 12. See also Kaunkana. Albêruni says " Konkana near the sea."
Kôśala, a country, and the people of it, in the south-east division, xiv. 8; diamonds are found there, lxxx. 6; other misc. ref., v. 69; ix. 26; x. 4, 13; xvi. 6; xvii. 22. See also 'Kausalaka.' The correct spelling (see also under 'Kausalaka') appears to be Kôsala,' which occurs in one of the Ajanțâ inscriptions (Archaol. Surv. West. Ind. Vol. IV. p. 127), and in the Râjim grant of Tivaradeva (Gupta Inscriptions, p. 296). Mahendra of Kosala is named among the kings whom Samudragupta is said to have captured (id. p. 13).
Kôtivarsha, apparently a country; the king of Kôtivarsha (Kotivarsha-nripa), misc. ref., ix. 11.
Krauñcha, a mountain in the northern division, xiv, 24. See also under Kraunchadvipa.' Krauñchadvipa, a country, in the southern division, xiv. 13; misc. ref., x. 18. MonierWilliams gives the word as equivalent to
Krauñcha,' which, he says, is the name of a mountain, part of the Himalayan range, situated in the eastern part of the chain, on the north of Assam, and is also the name of one of the dvipas or principal divisions of the world, surrounded by the sea of curds.
kravyasin, eaters of raw flesh,' in the southwest division, xiv. 18. See also 'cannibals,' and under flesh.'
[JULY, 1993.
the river Krishna and the town of Vellûra (q. v.).
Krishna, a river (the 'Kistna') in the southern division, xiv. 14. Kern took this word, with the one that follows it in the text, to give the name of a place, Krishnavellara. But Varâhamihira has undoubtedly mentioned
—
Kshurârpana, a mountain in the western division, xiv. 20.
Kuchika, a people in the north-east division, xiv. 30.
Kukura, a people in the middle country, xiv. 4; misc. ref., v. 71; xxxii. 22. Mention is made of the Kukura people or country in one of the Nasik inscriptions (Archeol. Surv. West. Ind. Vol. IV. p. 109), and in the Junâgadh inscription of Rudradâman (Ind. Ant." Vol. VII. p. 262). Kulûta, a country in the north-west division, xiv. 22, and in the north-cast division, xiv. 29; misc. ref., x. 12; xvii. 18. See also 'Kulûtaka. Kulûta is mentioned in the Chambâ grant (Ind. Ant. Vol. XVII. p. 8). Kulûtaka, the people of Kulûta, q. v.; misc. ref., iv. 22.
Kanatha (v. 1. Kunata, Kunaha, and Kunapa), a people in the north-east division, xiv. 30. kunjaradari, the elephant's cave, or the glen of elephants, in the southern division, xiv. 16.
Kuntala, a country; misc. ref., xvi. 11. It is mentioned in one of the Ajanta inscriptions, under circumstances which imply, I think, that Ajanta itself was in Kuntala (Archeol. Surv. West. Ind. Vol. IV. pp. 126, 127); and it is, I consider, the country of which Nasik was the capital (see page 115 above). It is also mentioned in numerous later records. And the Western Châlukyas of Kalyani are. constantly described emphatically as "the lords of Kuntala."
Kuntibhôja, a people; misc. ref., x. 15. Kuru, a people. The Kurus consisted of two branches, the northern and the southern; and the land of the northern Kurus is supposed to be a region beyond the most northern part of the Himalayan range, and is described as a country of everlasting happiness. Varâhamihira mentions (1) the Kurus, without any qualification, as a people in the middle country, xiv. 4; and (2) the
