SAMBODHI
A city in Simhaladvipa (Sri Lanka), famous for its mines of several precious and semi-precious gem-stones (sapphires, tourmalines et cetera.) Muslims had settled in Khambhāt (Khambhāyat or Stambhatīrtha, south Gujarat) in the later part of eighth century and hence the community as such was known before the invasion (A.D. 1025) of Mahmud of Gazanī, who was, and because of him, the Muslims from Afghanistan were, known as 'Garjanaka' in the medieval Jaina literary records of Gujarat. . I have not included here the botanical names of those trees for want of relevant reference books.
