McComas and Andrew,

Not a text, but an interesting reading would be A. K. Ramanujan, "Towards an Anthology of City Images" pp. 224-242 in Richard G. Fox, editor, _Urban India: Society, Space and Image_ (Durham, N.C. Duke University Program in Comparative Studies on Southern Asia, 1970) [Monograph and Occasional Papers Series, Monograph 2]--which contrasts treatment of cities in Sanskrit literature with that of Tamil literature.

city in Sanskrit literature. If you come across any references or

descriptions of cities in your readings, would you be be kind enough to

forward the references to him at:
