The memory of the Sindas' connection with the territory in the neighbourhood of Bellary is still preserved in local names : see Dr. Fleet's note on the Sindavādi country in Ind. Ant., Vol. XXX, p. 257. A clear trace, as Dr. Fleet has pointed out to me, survives in the name of Sindanür, “Sinda's Town," in the Mudgal division of the Nizam's territory, which is marked as "Sindunoor" in the Indian Atlas sheet 58 (1827), in lat. 15° 46', long. 76° 49', about twentynine miles north-by-west from Kurgod.
