Dear Prof. Paturi,

Thanks, I omitted this in my first message.

I knew about the town you mention from a 1956 article by Derrett, although he does not seem to have a strong opinion as to the identification of the mahābhāratian Kāmpilya with Kampli in KA.

Dear list members,

I would like to know more about the identification of present-day Kampil (Uttar Pradesh) with the town named Kāmpilya that is mentioned in the Mahābhārata. In particular, I am wondering to which extent such identification is supported by past and current scholarship and on which grounds, apart from the similarity of the two names.

The relevant entry in Ghosh' Encyclopaedia of Indian Archaeology refers to one of Alexander Cunningham's report - this is all I could find so far.

In case, I would be grateful for any relevant references or suggestions.

Best wishes,

Gaia Pintucci
