[634]--Possibly Kalale in Mysore,a place fifteen miles south of that capital.It is said to have been founded in 1504by a noble who was connected with the Vijayanagar royal family (Rice's gazetteer,ii.255).

[635]--Unidentified.

[637]--Mangalore.

[638]--Unidentified.

[639]--ROUPA.Linen cloth.The word is not used of cotton,and the next sentence shows that cotton did not grow in that tract.

[640]--I hazard the suggestion that this may be a mistake of the copyist for "Avati."This place,now a village in the Kolar district of Mysore,was in the fifteenth century an important place,a ruling family having been founded here by the "Morasu Wokkalu"or "Seven Farmers"(Rice,"Mysore and Coorg,"ii.20).The description applies to it fairly well.

[641]--Calicut.
