_Gokarna_.--On the west coast, about 20 miles s. e. of Karwar, famous for its temple of Mahabaleshwar and a very popular place of pilgrimage. (_Bombay Gazetteer_, Kanara, xv. pt. 2, pp. 289-301). _Kolhapur_.--Out of about 250 temples in this city at present six are well-known, namely, the temples of Ambábái or Mahálakshmi, Vithoba, Temblai, Mahákali, Phirangai or Pratyangiras, and Yallamma. (_Bombay Gaz_. xxiv. 309-311). _Kumbha-kama.--Kumbakonam_ in the Tanjore district, 20 miles north-east of Tanjore town. It contains 12 principal Shaiva and 4 Vaishnav temples and one dedicated to Brahmá. (_Tanjore Gaz_. 217-219). _Madura_--on the river Vaigai, the minor basin of which is called _Kritimá-nadi_ (the _Krita-mala_ of our text). Its temples are described in the _Madura Gazetteer_, 267-274. _Mahendra hill_.--There is a peak of this name in the Travancore State, but too far from Cape Comorin. _Malay mountain (Agastya)_.--(i) There is a temple to the sage Agastya in the village Agastyampalli, close to Vedaranniyam, near Point Calimere in the Tanjore district; but it cannot be the place meant, (ii) _Palni_ in the Madura district contains a famous temple to Subrahmanya on the top of a hill (Shivagiri) created by Agastya. But there is no temple to Agastya here. (_Madura Gaz._ 304-306). (iii) R.M. Ghose is inclined to identify it with _Pothia_ hill (near Cape Comorin), the reputed abode of Agastya (K. Pillai's _Tamils 1,800 Years Ago_, 21.) (iv) The Tamraparni rises on either side of a fine conical peak known as _Agastiar-malai_ or Agastya's hill. (_Tinn. Man._ 91). _Mallar land._--Malabar. _Mallikarjun.--Shri-Shailam_, on the south bank of the Krishna, 70 miles below Karnul. In the centre of the enclosure is the temple of Mallikarjun Shiva, the chief deity worshipped here, and considered as one of the _jyotir-lingas_. (_Kurnool Manual_, 181-183, 144). There is another and much less famous temple to Mallikarjun at Bezvada on the Krishna river. _Matsya-tirtha_.--Either (1) _Mahé_, the French possession on the coast of the Malabar district. Or (2) _Matsya-gundam_, a curious pool on the Macheru river, near the village of Matam, six miles north north-west of Pacleru (in the Padwa taluq of the Vizaga-patam district). A barrier of rocks runs right across the river there, and the stream plunges into a great hole and vanishes beneath this, reappearing again about a hundred yards lower down. Just where it emerges from under the barrier it forms a pool which is crowded with _mahseer_ of all sizes. (_Vizagapatam Gaz._ 285). _Nine Tripadi.--Alwar Tiru-nagari_, 17 m. s. e. of Tinnevelly. Around it are 9 temples to Vishnu (_Tirupati_), the idols of which are assembled in this town on holy days. [R. M. G.]
