GEOGRAPHICAL PLACES, PEOPLES AND TRIBES 515 forest with Maharastra (EHD鹿, See II), and Pargiter with the
region from Bundelkhanda to the K峁涐梗n膩 (JRAS, 1894. p.241-42).
Krau帽capura is also the name of Vanavasi in north Kannara,
situated on the river Barada, an affluent of the Tungabhadr膩 (GD,
p. 104). It is probable that Barada has been referred to as Kar峁嘺rav膩.
Vanavasi is also in the vicinity of the sea and the Malaya region
also lies in its vicinity while as regards the site discussed in the
preceding paragraph the Malaya mountain remains far apart. Then
the Dan岣峚k膩ra峁噛a would mean the region lying to the south of the
K峁涐梗峁嚹� and the north Kannara region. But in both the cases
Vamsagiri called as R膩magiri also remains unidentified.

Jyotiprasada Jain 2 has identified the R膩magiri of Ugr膩dity膩's
Kaly膩pak膩raka with the Ramat墨rtha-parvata of the Vizagapattan
district, near Vijianagaram. That hill was known as R膩mako峁嘾a
(konda giri) in ancient times. This site seems to be identical with
the R膩ma giri of the PCV on account of the vicinity of the sea and the
great rivers God膩var墨 and K峁涐梗峁嚹�, Da峁囜笉ak膩ra峁噛a would mean the
region lying between the God膩var墨 and the K峁涐梗峁嚹�. In that case
God膩var墨 and K峁涐梗峁嚹� would be the Karnarav膩 and Krau帽carav膩 of the
PCV both called as Mah膩峁嘺is (40.13; 42.15). The PCV mentions that
the forest was abundantly rich with coconut trees (41.9; 42.9). These
trees grow abundantly in this region. This area seems to be the plau-
sible identification because the Vanara country or Ki峁�kindhipura comes
into its vicinity. It is said in the PCV that V膩nara Lord Sugr墨va while
wandering in distress came to know that Kharad奴峁�a峁嘺 was killed in
this forest (47.1-4).
Following the death of Kharad奴峁�a峁嘺, the father of 艢amb奴ka and
the kidnapping of S墨t膩 by R膩va峁嘺, R膩ma is escorted to Ala峁僰膩rapura
(43.12) or P膩t膩la峁僰膩rapura by Vir膩dhita (45.38). It is said to be situ-
ated to the south of Dandakagiri and to the north of the Lavana ocean
(Indian ocean 43.10-11). Dandakagiri is said to be situated in the
Da峁囜笉aka forest (42.14). Both these places remain unidentified.
Kapidvipa & Ki峁�kindhipura:-As R膩ma sojourns at P膩t膩lankarapura,
Sugr墨va, the lord of Ki峁�kindhipura arrives there to seek R膩ma's help
for retrieving his wife T膩r膩 (47.9). R膩ma goes to Ki峁�kindhipura and
restores T膩r膩 to Sugr墨va, after killing Sahasagati. The PCV mentions
that Kapidv墨pa
was ruled by Sugr墨va
