Kheda-Khetaka of the Padma Purana, between Ahmedabad and Kambay in Gujarat.
It is the Kiecha of Hiuen Tsiang, which Cunningham has correctly restored to Kheta or Kheda, now called Kaira. Khetaka was situated on a small river called Betravati (now called Vatrak) near its junction with the Sabarmati (Sabarmati). Julien renders Kiecha
by Khacha or Kachchha. -Same as Kaira. Khfragrama-Twenty miles to the north of Burdwan. It is one of the fifty-two Pithas. Khiya The Khanat of Khiva is the 1. Urjagunda of the Matsya P. (ch. 120), called Urgendj; 2.

Anagandi. It was the ancient Kishkindhyâ of the Ramayana, where Ramachandra killed
Bali, the king of monkeys. Kiyul--I. Rohinnala. It has been identified by General Cunningham with Lo-in-ni-lo of
Hiuen Triang; it is situated immediately to the south of Lakhi-gerai on the E. I. Railway. It contains a large image of Padmapâni and several Buddhist figures (Cunningham's Arch. 8. Rep., vol. III). Lo-in-ni-lo included Jayanagar on the north containing the fort, and Rajaona or Rajjhana on the south containing many remains of the Buddhist period. See however, Rehuânåla. II. The river Rishikulyê in Bihar. Koch-Bihar-It appertained to the ancient Pundra-desa, especially to the eastern portion

said to have been killed by Parasurama. Kolhapur--1. Karavirapura. 2. Kolapura. 3. Kolh&pura. 4. Padmavati. 6. Agastya
Asrama, the hermitage of Rishi Agastya, but perhaps this is a mistake and the mistake originated by confounding Kolhapur with Akolha to the east of Nasik, which is the reputed
hermitage of Agastya. Kollur-Gani, on the river Krishna, celebrated for its diamond mine (Tavernier's Travels).
Gani is evidently the corruption of Khani (mine). Kondavir-1. Kundinapura. 2. Bidarbhanagara. 3. Bhimapura, the ancient capital of
