Coḷa
Place南インドの国で、コーラ族の故地であり、コロマンデル海岸からペンナー川まで広がり、中世の都はタンジョールに置かれた。この国のスリランカへの度重なる侵攻を、セイロン年代記は島の平和と文化への主要な脅威として記録している。
A country whose people were called Coḷā.
The country extended from the Coromandel coast of South India as far as the Penner River, its capital in mediaeval times being Tanjore. The Ceylon Chronicles mention frequent invasions of Sri Lanka by the Coḷā chiefly for purposes of plunder. These invasions were a constant menace to the peace and prosperity of Sri Lanka, and helped largely in the destruction and disappearance of that country’s literary and artistic works. For details see Mhv. and Cv. passim.
