I. 



JPtOLEMY places Ujjaifmi about 9.55 geograpliical 

 miles from the mouth of the river Main, but the real 

 distance is not above 200. TJie diiferent places, 

 mentioned by that author, between Ujjayini and the 

 sea, stand thus. From the mouth of the Mahi, to 

 its supposed communication with the Narmada, 60 

 G. M. to T'lagura 50 : to Alhtnagara 50 : to ZcrogerCy 

 now Dhdr or Asara-gur, 55 : and to Ujjayini 40. 

 The two last towns are erroneously placed by him, 

 on the banks of the Narmadd, and I strongly sus- 

 pect, that it is also the case with the two others. 

 They are also placed on the left or southern bank 

 of that river, which is not the case, unless perhaps 

 with regard to Tidgura, which might have been si- 

 tuated to the south, either of the Narmadd, or some 

 other river mistaken for the Narmadd. Tidgur is 

 certainly a true Hindi denomination, and there are 

 several places thus called, in the more southern parts 

 of India; yet in this instance, I suspect that it is 

 a mistake, for Paya-gurra, or Pawa-gur, to the 

 south of the river UhMhara, mistaken by Ptolemy 

 ^OT the Narmadd ; because these places were said to 

 be in the tiram of the last river. Tiram implies only 

 the country bordering upon the sea, or a river: but 

 it was misunderstood by travellers, and supposed 

 by them to imply the banks of the Narmadd. Thus 

 Payagiirra was said to be in the tiram of the Nar- 

 7nadd, which is very true; and to the eastward of a 

 river that runs by it. The Dlidd'hara river runs 

 afterwards very near to the Mahi^ in the vicinity 

 of Brodrd; and there might have been formerly a
