314 APPENDIX I. Akṣu, the two tributaries of the Oxus. This identification becomes all the more certain when we consider that Kālidāsa places the Kāmbojas in the widely dis- tributed mountainous parts situated between the Hūṇa country and the Himālayas. The country near S'ākala or Sialkot in the Punjab or Malwa cannot, however, re- present the Hūṇa country of Rājaśekhara because these places are mentioned by him with different names. These places, more- over, were acquired by the Hūṇa kings Toramāna and Mihirakula after they had invaded India, and thus cannot re- present their original home or even earlier settlements. 211. Hūhuka ... ...One of the countries in the northern India. It may be identified with the northern Kashmīr. Hiuen Thsang while entering the valley of Kashmīr from the west, reached a city which he calls Hu-se-kia-lo or Huṣkara. In the Rājataraṅgiṇī Huṣ- kapura is said to be near Varāha or Vārā- hamūla. Huṣkara or Uskar still exists as a village on the left or eastern bank of the Behat. The country surrounding Huṣ- kapura or Uskar may represent the Hū- huka of Rājaśekhara, and presumably, this may represent the country of Kashmir which is otherwise omitted in the list of North Indian countries given by Rājaśe- khara on page 94. 212. Hemakūṭa ...This is a Varṣa Parvata, being the second from the Mahāmeru on the southern side. This is the principal mountain range of the Kimpuruṣavarṣa, and is situated on the northern side of the Himavān and the Bhāratavarṣa. (see Kimpuruṣavarṣa).
