ANUGANGAM, &C. 53 



the same with Sadhora. There appears to be a trans- 

 position in the numbers expressuig- the distances. 



Thence to the Hydraotes, or Ravi, (the Iruvati of 

 the Pifrau'as,) and the city of Laboca or Lobaca, 

 mentioned by Ptolemy, and which is tlie present 

 Lahore. Its true and original name is Lanaca or La- 

 baca, from Lava or Laba, the son of Ra'ma ; and its 

 present name is derived from Lava-zvara, the place of 

 Lava or Laba. Its distance from Sangald in Pto- 

 LFMV, with its name, have induced me to suppose 

 that it is the same witli Lahore, which is 53 miles 

 to the east of the extensive ruins of Sangala, so 

 called to this day ; and the true pronunciation is 

 Sa}7gaia, not Sangald. Tliere are two places in Pto- 

 lemy, one called laboca, and the other Labocia, 

 which I take to be the same place, the true name of 

 which is Lahaca; for the ctlier is not conformable to 

 the idiom of any of the dialects in India, 



Thence to the Hijphasis, and afterwards to tlie 

 Zadadras, (the Satodara pr S^atadru of the Purdn/aSy 

 ,or with 100 bellies or channels;) and to the town of 

 Tahora, in the Ptiitingerian tables (now called, with 

 a slight alteration, Tehaura, and in the Purdnas, Ti- 

 hotra and Trigarta ; there Semiramis, or Sami- 

 DEvT, was born). 



Thence to Ketrora, in the same tables, for Cshatri- 

 wdrdj or C'hetvi-wdrd, the metropolis of a powerful 

 tribe of Cshettis or C'hetris, who lived in a beautiful 

 and •\voody country. The famous Lacki Jungle, or 

 forest, is what now remains of these charming woods 

 and groves. They are called Cetri-boni by Pliny, 

 with tht t\)\lhQt oi Sijk est res, or living in forests-; 

 and Cshatrivaua, in Sanscrit, and C'hetri-bdn, in the 

 spoken dialects, signify the forest of the Cshetris: 

 Clietriivdrd, or Cotrora, is now Thanak&tir ; in former 

 times, the metropolis of these Cshatris.
