The Tämraparni River. — Dr. Bloch, in his article 'Die

Zeit Kälidäsa's' {ante, 1908, p. 674, note), assuming that Tämra¬

parni can mean nothing except the island of Ceylon, remarks that

'Mallinätha erklärt Tämraparni mit nadi , „Fluß"! Etiam aU-

quando dormit Mallinathus !' But in this instance it is the critic,

not the Indian commentator, who nods. The TamraparijI is a well-

known and important river. The following particulars taken from

the new edition of the Imperial Gazetteer (Oxford, 1908) abundantly justify Mallinätha. The Tämraparni river in the Tinnivelly District, Madras, rises in the Western Ghats (8» 37' N., 77" 15' E.) , and, after a course of 70 miles, falls into the Gulf of Manaar in 8*> 40' N.

and 78" 9' E. The pearl fishery to which Kälidäsa and his com¬

mentator allude takes place in that Gulf, and Korkai, succeeded

later by Käyal — both ports being on the bank of the Tämra¬

parni — was a great mart for pearls. When the poet stated that

Raghu's pearls came 'vom Meere bei Tämraparni' it is quite as

likely that he referred to the river as to the island of the same

name. See my Early History of India, 2nd ed., p. 406.
