(51) In the interior of the Dekhan, the _Periplûs_ places two great seats of commerce, +Paithana+, 20 days’ journey to the south of Barugaza, and +Tagara+, 10 days’ journey eastward from Paithana. Paithana, which appears in Ptolemy as Baithana, may be identified with +Paithana+. +Tagara+ is more puzzling. Wilford, Vincent, Mannert, Ritter and others identify it with +Dêvagiri+ or Deogarh, near Elurâ, about 8 miles from Aurangâbâd. The name of a place called Tagarapura occurs in a copper grant of land which was found in the island of Salsette. There is however nothing to show that this was a name of Dêvagiri. Besides, if Paithana be correctly identified, Tagara cannot be Dêvagiri unless the distances and directions are very erroneously given in the _Periplûs_. This is not improbable, and Tagara may therefore be +Junnar+ (_i.e._ Jûna-nagar = _the old city_), which from its position must always have been an emporium, and its Buddha caves belong to about B.C. 100 to A.D. 150 (see _Archæolog. Surv. of West. India_, vol. III., and Elphinstone’s _History of India_, p. 223). Our author introduces us next to another division of India, that called +Limurikê+, which begins, as he informs us, at a distance of 7,000 stadia (or nearly 900 miles) beyond Barugaza. This estimate is wide of the mark, being in fact about the distance between Barugaza and the southern or remote extremity of Limurikê. In the Indian segment of the Roman maps called from their discoverer, the _Peutinger Tables_, the portion of India to which this name is applied is called +Damirike+. We can scarcely err, says Dr. Caldwell (_Dravid. Gram._ Intr. page 14), in identifying this name with the Tami[l:] country. If so, the earliest appearance of the name Tami[l:] in any foreign documents will be found also to be most perfectly in accordance with the native Tami[l:] mode of spelling the name. +Damirike+ evidently means _Damirike_.... In another place in the same map a district is called +Scytia Dymirice+; and it appears to have been this word which by a mistake of Δ for Λ Ptolemy wrote Λυμιρικὴ. The D retains its place however in the Cosmography of the anonymous geographer of Ravenna, who repeatedly mentions +Dimirica+ as one of the three divisions of India and the one furthest to the East. He shows also that the Tami[l:] country must have been meant by the name by mentioning +Modura+ as one of the cities it contained. 52. The local marts which occur in order _along the coast_ after +Barugaza+ are +Akabarou+, +Souppara+, +Kalliena+, a city which was raised to the rank of a regular mart in the times of the elder +Saraganes+, but after +Sandanes+ became its master its trade was put under the severest restrictions; for if Greek vessels, even by accident, enter its ports, a guard is put on board and they are taken to Barugaza.
