A CRITICAL STUDY OF PAUMACARIYA峁�
situated in the valley of Va峁兣沘giri (39.4). On that hill he sojourns
for some time. At the request of Rama, the king of that place gets
some Jina temples built on the hill. It then comes to be known as
R膩magiri after the name of R膩ma (40.16). After some days R膩ma
tells Lak峁�ma峁嘺 to proceed to some other place beyond the river
Kar峁嘺rav膩 (known as the Dandaka forest). He further says
that the forest lies in the vicinity of the great ocean and
expresses his desire to sojourn there鲁. Accordingly they start from
there and enter the Dandakaranya and sojourn on the bank of the
river Kar峁嘺rav膩 (41.2). They proceed further towards the interior
and come across the big river Ku帽carav膩 (42.15), or Ko帽carav膩
(43,21).They stay there for a long period of time. The river is called
Krau帽carav膩 in the PCR (42.61). At the time of departing from
Ayodhy膩, R膩ma tells his mother that he will return to her after
settling some abode on the Vindhya hills or on the Malaya moun-
tains or in the vicinity of the ocean虏. Further while departing from
Ujjain, Lak峁�ma峁嘺 tells that he along with R膩ma and S墨t膩 is going to
the Malayaparvata鲁. From the last reference it can be inferred that
R膩ma might have entered the Malayade艣a or the region near about
the Malaya mountains which are the southern parts of the Western
Ghats or the region of Malabar coast. The ancient Malayaparvata
has been identified with the portion of the Western Ghats from the
Nilgiris to Cape Comorin鲁.
The VR (3.69.5) refers to the Krau帽ca forest and locates it at
a distance of some miles to the west and then south of Pa帽cava峁璱.
As one proceeds further to the south the source of river K峁涐梗峁嚹�
comes nearer. It is presumable that the Kar峁嘺rav膩 or Kro帽carav膩
of the PCV is the K峁涐梗峁嚹� river. Vamsagiri should be some hill in
that area and Va峁兣沘pura, a town situated in the foot of the hills,
But they are not identified. The ocean also falls in the vicinity and
thus the Dandak膩ra峁噛a is the region lying on both the sides of the
K峁涐梗n膩 flowing from the north towards the south i.e. in the Kokan
and Mah膩ra艣tra region. R.G. Bhandarkar identifies the Dan岣峚ka
