Sylvain Levi--Pihunda, Pithuda, ritundra : (Ind. Ant., Vol. LV, 1926, Bombay). I'ranslated from the French by S.M. Edwardes.
Pp. 145-147. The Jain Uttarādhyayana Sūtra (XXI, 1-4, translated in sacred books of the East) relates the story of a merchant named Pälita, who departs from Champā, on a journey by boat to the city of Pihumda. The Hāthigumphā inscription of Khāravela mentions Pithuda which may be read as Pithumda, which would become Pohumda in Prākrit. Ptolemy mentions Pitundra and places it between the deltas of the Godavari and Mabānadi. We must look for the city between Chicacola, and Kaling-apatam, if Ptolemy's information approximates to the truth, The name of Pithumda connected with the name of a people-Tuhunda.

J. JOLLY---Kautilya and Canakya-(A.I.O.C., Session IV; 1926).
P. 109. One of the Jain canonical books, the Nandi, mentions the Kodillayam, i.e., Kauțilyam as forbidden book but another Jain canonical book, the Anuyogadvārasūtram, quotes the Kodallayam, i.e. Kautilyam instead (A. Weber's Cat. II, 677-697).

P. 163. Rules for finding the square-root and the cube-root. It is rather curious to observe that Mahävirächārya in South India and Sridhara, Bhāskara and Brahmagupta give more or less identical rules for the extraction of the square and the cube-root, while no method of extracting the cube-root is given by any early Greek Writer.
