302 APPENDIX I. 133. Mallavartaka...Rājaśekhara mentions this among the ea- stern countries. This, therefore, cannot be identified with either Malladeśa or Mul- tan, or Malava or the country inhabited by the Mallois of the Greek historians, since we have to seek for its identification a country situated in the eastern part of India. It is, therefore, probable that the Mallavartaka represents the country in which Mallaparvata or Pārśvanātha hills are situated, namely the portion now for- ming the districts of Hazaribagh and Man- bhum in the province of Bihar and Orissa. 134. Mahārāṣṭra ...The Marāṭhā country or the country watered by the upper Godāvarī, or the land lying between this river and the Kṛṣṇā. This was also called Daṇḍakāraṇya in ancient days. (see Rāmāyaṇa, Āraṇya, ch. I. and Bhandarkar's Hist. of Deccan. II.). 135. Mahī ... ...The river Mahī which springs in Malava and falls into the gulf of Cambay. 136. Mahendra ...Rājaśekhara mentions Mahendra among the mountains of South India. According to Kālidāsa(Raghuvaṁśa. iv. 39-40)Mahendra is situated in the Kaliṅga country. But Rājaśekhara includes Kaliṅga both in the group of eastern as well as southern coun- tries. It, thus, appears probable that Ma- hendragiri near Ganjam was the northern boundary of the Kaliṅga country. 137. Mahodaya ...Kanauj or Kānyakubja. 138. Mālava ... ...Malwa or Avanti. Its capital was Ujjayinī. 139. Mālyaśikhara Rājaśekhara mentions this as a mountain in the western India. It cannot, there- fore, be identified with mount Mālyavān supposed to be situated near Kiṣkindhā in
