three miles from Bijayanagara (Sewell's Arch. Surv. of Southern India, I, p. 322) and close to Bellary (JRAS., 1894, p. 257). About two miles to the south west of Kishkindhå is the Pampe-sarovara, and to the north-west of Pampa-sarovara is the Añjana hill, where Hanumâna was born ; Savari's hermitage was 60 miles to the west of Kishkindha. Rama killed Bali, the brother of Sugriva, and gave the kingdom of Kishkindhå to the latter (Ramdyana, Kishk., ch. 26). Kishkindh comprises the hills on the opposite side of the valley that separate it from Humpi, which are wild congeries of fantastic naked granite rocks with narrow valleys between. In one of these is shown the place where the body of Raja BALI was burned; it is a bed of very white carbonate of lime
(Meadows Taylor's Architecture in Dharwar and Mysore, p. 70). Klyana-The river Kane or Ken in Bundelkhand (Laseen). It runs through the country held by the Chandel kings from south to north dividing it into two nearly equal portions with the capital cities Mahoba and Khajuraha in the western half and the great forts of Kalinjar and Ajayagadh in the eastern half (Arch. S. Rep., Vol. XXI, p. 78). See gyoni, Kamâvati and Suktimati. The name of Kiyana is not mentioned in any of the
Puranas. Klisoboru (of the Greeks) Growse identifies it with Mahâvana, six miles to the south of Mathura on the opposite bank of the Jamuna (Growse's Mathurd, p. 279). General Cunningham identifies it with Brindāvana (Cunningham's Anc. Geo., p. 375). Vajra founded many towns after the name of his grandfather Krishna, e.g., Kộishňapura. Wilkins restores the name to Kalisapura, .now called Mugu-nagar by the Musalmans (Asia. Res., Vol. V, p. 270). See Ind. Ant., VI, p. 240 note. It is the Caresobara of
Megasthenes. Kodagu-Coorg : a country on the Malabar Coast (Caldwell's Drav. Comp. Gram., p. 32).
Same as Kolagiri [Koragiri of the Vishnu P., (ch. 57)). KodanaturaCranganore, a town of Malabar : it is practically identical with Mouziris

western portion of the district of Purnea in Bengal (Vardha P., ch. 140, vs. 53 and 72). It included the Baråha-kshetra at Nathpur below the Triveni formed by the junction of
the three rivers TÂmbar, Aruna, and Suna Kusi. Kokamukha-Bardha-kshetra in the district of Purnea in Bengal on the Triveni above
Nathpur, where the united Kosis (the Tambar, the Aruņa, and Suna) issue into the plains.

bad in Bihar (As. Res., XIV, p. 405). Kolchale-It has been identified with the Brahmayoni hill in Gaya. It is considered
to be the same as Kolabala-parvata. But it appears that Koláchala and Kolâhala are two distinct mountains, and Kolachala may be identified with the Kaluhå-påhâd (see
Makula-parvata).. Kolagir-Same as Kodlaga (Mbh., Sabha, ch. 30 ; Pargiter's Markand. P., p. 384). Kolahala-Parvata-1. The Brahmayoni hill in Gaya (Vāyu P., I, ch. 45; Dr. R. L. Mitra's
Buddha Gayd, pp. 14, 15), including the hill called Munda-prishtha which contains the impression of Gadadhara's foet (Ibid., II, ch. 50, v. 24). 2. A range of hill in Chedi (Mbh., Adi, ch. 63). It has been identified by Mr. Beglar with the Kawa-kol range in Bibar
