44, Pavana-dutam or Wind-Messenger. [ March, 1905. 
Eastern Ghats between the rivers Pennar and Krsna; and the 
Pafcapsara tank is to be located somewhere between the Krsna 
and the Godavari. 
Then the wind avoiding the passes round about the Godavari 
5h S will turn to the capital of Kalingas, (v. 21) ; 
Kalinga-nagari. om which it will go to the sea-coast (yv. 22). 
It is clear that the Kalinga capital was near the sea but not on the 
coast. In the 12th century this capital was at Kalinga-nagara, 
which has been reasonably identified with modern Mukhalingam! in 
Parla-Kimidi Tributary State, District Gaijam. This town stands 
on the river Vameadhara, 18° 37’lat. 84.° 3’ long., about 22 miles 
by map from Kalingapattam, the port at the mouth of this river, 
From the sea-coast the wind will blow over the Vindhya- 
Vindhya Moun. padah, frequented by elephants (v. 23), to 
tains. the Reva with its groves peopled by Savaris 
and its plains by more civilised races. The hill ranges to the north 
of the Mahendra Mountain were considered to be a part of the 
Vindhya; and this hilly region was then occupied by the Savara 
tribes. The wind thus cuts direct north and reaches the source of 
the river Reva or Narmmada in the Amarakantaka hill. 
The wind is then asked to go to Yaydati-nagari to see the 
amorous frolics of Kerali girls (v. 26). This 
town has not yet been identified, but it is 
mentioned in a copperplate inscription of Maha-civa-gupta.? 
There it is said to be on the bank of the Mahdnadi, which may, 
after all, be a common name referring to some large river. Any- 
how it was in the country of Daksina-Kosala, identifiable with the 
eastern part of Central Provinces. Curiously enough the people 
are called Keralas, 
From Yayati-nagar7, the wind will blow on to the Suhma-deca 
on the Ganges (v. 27). Here the Brahman ladies wear tender 
palm leaves as ear-ornaments (v. 27) ; and here the god Murari 
resides (y. 28). On the bank of the Ganges is (an image of) Civa 
and Parvati combimed (v. 30). Further up comes the separation 
of the Bhagirathi and the Jamuna rivers (v. 33); and 
Place is reached the capital Vijayapwra on the bank of the Gan- 
finally 36).
