In the Tamulic language, improperly (fays Mr. Chambers *, termed
Malabar) and the inhabitants, Tamalians or Malabars. In the
Sanjkrit, and the languages of the northern Hindoos, the city is-
called Mahabalipur, or the city of the great B a l i , a hero of Hindoo
romance, who, likewife gives the addition of Mavali to the Ceylo-
neji Ganges, as the river of Bali. The Tamulians, or Malabars of
this race feem to have migrated into Ceylon. They are barely
mentioned by Knox, and more fully by Wolf, in his account o f
Ceylon, p. 241. They differ, he fays, in numbers of particulars;
from the Cingakys, or natives of Ceylon, and from the whole Bra-
minical fyftem. Mr. Chambers points out feveral particulars; The
effay on the ruins of Mamlipuram evince that gentleman’s deep
erudition in the antiquities of the Hindoo antiquities, who has frequently
traced them from hence to the great ¡Hand juft mentioned.
