44 Verification of the Itinerary of H wan Thsang [July, 



one of the ancient names of Telingana, or the country between the 

 Kistna and Godavari rivers. This however answers to the Great 

 Andhra of Hwan Thsang, which is mentioned by Hwan Thsang in 

 the next article. 



Thence to the S. at 1000 li (167 miles) to 



No. 91 — Ta-na-ko-thse-kia, also called Great An-tha-lo ; 6000 

 li (1000 miles) in extent. Inhabitants, black and savage. To the 

 E. of the town on a mountain was the monastery of We-pho-shi-lo, 

 " montagne orientale," and on the W. was the monastery of A-fa-lo- 

 shi-lo, "montagne accidentale." (These two names are the Sanskrit 

 purvva-sila, or " eastern mountain," and apara-sila, or "western moun- 

 tain." This country, as mentioned above, corresponds with the modern 

 Telingana, between the Godavari and Kistna rivers, of which Warankul 

 was the capital for many centuries. Hamilton erroneously states that 

 Warankul was built in A. D. 1067, for it appears to have been the 

 capital of the Adeva Rajas in about A. D. 800 ; and I have little doubt 

 that it is the Korunkula of Ptolemy.) 



Thence to the S. W. at 1000 li (167 miles) to 



No. 92— Chu-li-ye, from 2400 to 2500 li (400 to 417 miles) in ex- 

 tent. People savage, fierce and heretical. Temples of the Gods. To 

 the S. E, of the town a Stupa built by Asoka. To the W. an ancient 

 monastery, where lived the Arhan Wen-ta-la " superieur," (in Sanskrit 

 Uttra. The bearing and distance point to the "neighborhood of 

 Karnul on the Tungabhadra River." 



No. 93— Tha-lo-pi-chha, 6000 li (1000 miles) in extent. The 

 capital is Kian-chi-pu-lo, Kanjeveram, Landresse. The language 

 and letters are somewhat different from those of central India. The 

 capital is the birth-place of Tha-ma-pho-lo (gardien de la loi) Phou- 

 sa (in Sanskrit Bharmma-Pdla Bodhisatwa.) To the S. of the town 

 was a great Stupa built by Asoka. (The name of the country is cer- 

 tainly the Sanskrit Ifrf^T, Dravira or Dravida, of which the most cele- 

 brated city is Kdnchipura or Kanjeveram. The language and letters 

 are Tamul.) 



Thence to the S. at 3000 li (500 miles) to 



No. 94 — Mo-lo-kiu-tho, or Chi-mo-lo, 5000 li (833 miles) in ex- 

 tent. The people are black and savage. On the S. this kingdom is 

 bounded by the sea, where stands the mountain of Mo-lo-ye, to the E.
