Kalingame kingdom Kalinga is included among the twenty five and a half Aryan countries with Kancanapura as its metropolis. Kalinga is mentioned with Dravida and Vanga,314 In the Hāthigumphā Inscriptions we are told that king Khāravela brought back to his realm from Anga-Magadha the throne of Jina which had been carried from Kalinga by king Nanda According to the Mahabharata, the ancient Kalinga seems to have comprised modern Orissa to the south of Vaitarani and the sea-coast southward as far as Vizagapattam, and its capital was Rājapura.315 Kaliyadiva-an island Käliyadiva was noted for its horses (see Hatthisisa). It is not identified.
