likewise.* | To the south of Gada or Garganh, ave the Saradé hills, men- 
tioned in the Calica-purana: the natives call them Séraidé, and there are 
the tombs of the kings of Aséima. 
Ture is another range of mountains to the east of Tiperah, and, which 
forming a curve towards the N. E. passes a little to the eastward of thie 
country of an ancient king called Hepampa, or Herampa. The name 
of the country is Casar, and its metropolis is C’haspur, the Cachara and 
‘Cuspoor of the maps. These hills are called Tilddri, or mountains of 
Tila, in the Cshétra-samésa.. In them and to eastward of Caséra is 
Tiladri-mala-gram, or the village of Mald, in the hills of Tila. It is called 
in the spoken dialects. Tilandrira-mald, and the author of the above tract,

To the north of India are three ranges of mountains, Hima or snowy, 
is to the north of Nipala or Naya-pala; Héma or the golden mountain, is 
beyond Tibet, and Nishadha, is still further north. © Nay-pdla is between | 
. the Pédapa or foot of the mountains, and Hima. Our ancient gzeogra- 
phers were acquainted with the two first; Huma or Imaus; and Héma, 
Heémada, Hemoda, or Emodus. ‘Their information was no doubt very 
defective, and their ideas concernmg them were of course very indistinct 
and confused, as appears from Protemy’s map. That author has added 
_an inferior range, which he calls Bepyrrhus. This range, with Imaus and 
* Ndamripa, is different from Camruépa, which is toward the N. W. in A’sdma, and the former 
toward the S. E. Cdémripa is to the north of the Brahma-putra, and Ndmrxpa to the south of it.
