CULTURAL DATA IN TILAKAMAÑJARĪ
little above the junction of the Swat with the Kabul river or (17 miles northern east of Peshawar on the Swat river).'
Rativiśālā
It has been described by Dhanapāla as a second Amaravati, (the capital of Indra) or the town of that name situated about 32 kilometres north west of Guntur in the Sattenapalli Taluk of this district,' the veritable lamp of the island called Nandiśvara surrounded by the ocean named Nandiśvara."
Rativisala may be a variant name for Amaravati or Amaraoti having 64 kms. cast of it Kundanpur or Kundinapura, the capital town of Berar. With this the Nandisvara island left unidentified above makes a headway towards a solution and may be considered to have been situated round Amaravati. Campa as already observed was the capital of Angas."

Rangasala
It has been described as a town in the Simhalas, having a circle of a fortification scraping the sky, glamorous with thousands of the abodes of the citizens (i. e., mansions) bearing the structure of seven storeys (Vimana taken technically means a saptabhūmi prāsāda)."
Lanka (Tm II p.289, L-4) p.91, L-4,) is obviously in the Simhalas a town contiguous to Rangsala and not the capital of Candraketu, sire of Samaraketu.
Alaka (Tm II p.323, L-3; Tm I p.85, L-8, Tm I, p.56, L-6)
To say anything definite about Alaka or Kuberapura is very difficult. It must have been a region in the Himalaya. This is the nearest conjecture.
Manipura
A town of Suvarna dvipa (Sumäträ)."
