Grocrapyy or Inpra, A401 
Tre next river is the Puna-pund, which signifies again and again, in a 
mystical sense; for it removes sins again and again. It is a most holy 
stream, and is called also Magadhé, because it flows through the country 
of Magadha or Cicata. Hence this river might be called also Cfcaté, and 
it is the Cacuthis of. Megasthenes. Then comes the Phalgu, the Fulgo of 
the maps. [I thought formerly, that it was the anonymous river of 
Proutemy, which he derives from the mountaimous regions of U-xentos, in 
‘Hindi, Aicshet, from the Sanscrit Ahicshétra. Our author has pretty well 
pointed out its confluence with the Ganges near Mudgir, where it receives 
another river from the south, called the Keuwle in the maps, and which is 
really the anonymous stream of that author, as it appears from several 
towns on tts banks: but Protemy has lengthened its course beyond mea- 
sure; as I shall show hereafter. 
Ler us now proceed to the Sulacshn7, or Chandravatt, according to the 
Cshétra-samasa. It is now called the river Chandan, because it flows 
through the Van or groves of Chandra, in the spoken dialects Chandwan, or 
Chandan. In the maps itis called Gogd, which should be written Cauca, 
because according to the above tract, it falls into the Ganges, at a place 
called Cucu, and in a derivative form Caucava, Caucwé, or Cauca. Tt flows 
a little to the eastward of Bhagalpur: but the place, originally so called, 
has been long ago swallowed up by the Ganges, along with the town of 
Bati-grém. In the Jina-vilds, it is called Aran'ya-bahd, or the torrent from 
the wilderness, bemg really nothing more.
