Would any knowledgable Indologist post the original Sanskrit
names for at least the major cities in the northern part of
the sub-continent whose names have become corrupted over time.
Let me give you a few examples.
1. Peshawar = PuruShapura
2. Multan = MUlasthAna
3. Lucknow = LakShaNapuri
4. Allahabad = MahAprayAga
5. Jullundher = Jalandhara (demon husband of VRndA in the
SkAnda PurANa)
Many thanks in advance.
