page 1310 note 4 According to the thirteenth rock-edict these neighbours (antā) would be the Seleucidan king of Syria and other Greek kings in the west, and the Ghōḍas and Pāṇḍyas in the south. In connexion with this I may note that the word Taṁbapamṁnī in the second and thirteenth rockedicts seems to refer to the river Tāmraparṁī in the Tinnevelly District, and not to Ceylon: compare MrSmith, V.
