During this long period South India was well know to the foreign world for its commercial products and traders. Some of the foreign travellers have left descriptive accounts of the areas and people, they came into contact during their life time. These accounts scattered in many publications and journals and housed in several archives of the world were not easily accessible for study even today.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The material compiled and edited in this volume portray the social life of the people and their economy in South India. It is an important source book to know the trade and mercantile activities with the countries on the East and West of South India.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The first edition of the book was published as far back as 1939 and the same is now published as third impression. During the long period of six decades new materials have appeared. Many studies on the socioeconomic aspects of south India were attemped incorporating the accounts of the foreign authorities. However the importance of the accounts of the foreign authorities. However the importance of the book was not minimized and was felt that the volume is indispensable to historians, economists, and sociologists. Considering the importance of the book and the long felt need of researches, Madras University thought it necessary to reprint this volume.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e I wish to record my appreciation to Prof. Dr. E.

Its aim is to present in a handy form the numerous Foreign Notices of South India including Ceylon scattered in several books and journals published by learned Societies not easily accessible to the general reader. In some cases the passages selected for inclusion have been specially rendered into English from French translations of Arabic or Chinese originals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The sources included here comprise mainly Greek and Latin, Arabic, Chinese and Perslan authors; but not being acquainted with their several languages, I have based this work altogether upon translations in to modern European languages. Though the collection is not exhaustive, I believe nothing of importance has been omitted. The reasons for the choice of the extracts and their importance to students of South Indian History are briefly explained in the introduction and notes, and will I trust, be borne out by the extracts themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e I acknowledge with great pleasure the assistance of Dr. N. Venkataramanayya, who gave me the transliteration of proper names occurring in Ibn Battuta and also some of the notes to the same author; and of Miss K. M.

Yet the prevalence of current and of periodical winds conducive to navigation has maintained here, since very early times, a system of exchanges in which the African coast, Arabia, the Persian Gulf, India, Insulindia, Indo-China, and beyond it, China and even Korea and Japan, continually gave and received their quotas. And in this system, India held a privileged, if not a preponderant, place by the advantage of her situation and the great length of her coasts; she is the centre towards which the many lines of this system converge. Doubtless, the documents are rare for the ancient period; but the race which carried civilisation by the sea to Burma, to Siam, to Cambodia, Indo-China and Java, and Madagascar, was a race of navigation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e And though as a whole Southern India has in the past looked east rather than west, still the mariners of Surparaka, Bharukaccha and Muziris are famous in history and legend. In his celebrated study on the Ramayana Sylvain Levi draws pointed attention to many similarities between the geographical cantos in the fourth book of the Ramayana and the Statements of Arab geographers, and argues that these similarities suggest the existence of 'a folklore of the Indian ocean,' stories current among mariners of the 'distant countries to which either their voluntary sailings of the freaks of winds had carried them.' \"And from Africa to China,\" he says, \"on this immense extent of coasts which recede in deep hollows or project in compact masses, the same narratives recur, ever re-examined and ever guaranteed by fresh proofs. Each self-respecting navigator must have seen the sacred marvels with his own eyes. From the Periplus of Scylax to the voyages of Sindbad the Sailor, the same stories pass from collection to collection, as they pass from mouth to mouth\". And the testimony of Al-Biruni is clear on the existence, in his day, of an active intercourse of ancient standing between Africa and China, and of the part of India in it; for he says: \"The reason why in particular Somnath has become so famous is that it was a harbour for sea-faring people, and a station for those who went to and fro between Sufala in the country of Zanj (Africa) and China.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e On the landward side again India was in equally active communication with China. The route taken by Fa-hien and Yuan Chwang into India as good an incentive to this intercourse as religion; I-tsing has preserved a record of sixty of his contemporaries who visited India for religious study, but we have no account of the mercanitile intercourse of the same Period. But as Garrez has shown, even for the Persians of the Sas-sanian period, Bactriana, the cradle of the religion of Zoroaster, had become virtually an Indian Country and Oxus a river of the Buddhists and Brahmins, \"For nearly eight centuries in effect (125 B.C to 650 A.D.), Bactraina was occupied by the Kusans, who also extended their sway over the entire valley of the Kabul and that of the Indus up to the peninsula of Guzerat. Connected thus politically with the land of Indians, separated on the other hand from Iran proper by a desert, it fell gradually under Indian influence, and the ancient religion of the Magi had to give place to the Brahmins, and above all to the Buddhist. The Greek writers of this period always cite Bactriana with India, and mention thousands of Brahmanas and Samanas who reside there. Already the medals of many Greek Kings of this country bear legends in an Indian language and character. Those of Indo-Scythians Show us still, it is true, some names of Iranian divinities; but the figures on them are accompanied by Indian attributes, some ever being oddly made up with that superfluity of heads and arms which characterises so specially the representation of divinity in the land of the Hindus. The Chinese annalists, who have conserved to us precious data regarding these Scythian princes, describe them as zealous Buddhist; this is beyond all possibility of doubt for many among them, notably for the celebrated Kanerki of Kaniska. It is during this period that the Iranian name of Balhi entered Sanskrit literature, and that the Oxus, under its Primitive name of which we find no trace in Iran, took a place in the Indian cosmography of the Brahmans as well as the Buddhists\". Sylvain Levi has pointed out that the Ramayana mentions the Tarim under the name of Sita, while traditional Buddhist cosmography makes this stream, as well as Indus, the Oxus and the Ganges, rise from one and the same lake Anavatapta.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e In the days when Yuan Chwang traversed Bactriana, \"Buddhism was generally flourishing form Termez, at the passage of the Oxus, up to Bamian at the gates of Kabul, and in the south-west up to Ta-la-kien on the frontier of the kingdom of Pola-sse (Persia). The country of Balkh alone contained nearly on hundred convents and 53000 monks. One of the convents the most remarkable for its magnificence, situated to the south-west of the town, was known by the name 'New convent '(nava sangharam or nava vihara) This 'new convent' (Nubehar) was destroyed by Islamic forces within half-a-century after Yuan Chwang visited it, and Buddhism suffered in Centra! Asia the same fate which befell it in India some centuries later. And for many centuries after the land routes across the North-Western frontier of India ceased to be frequented by merchants and pilgrims from China, the sea-route between. India and China was open, and there is much evidence available on these-day commercial relations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e \u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd width=\"10%\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd width=\"80%\"\u003e Contents\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd width=\"10%\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c!--\u003ctr--\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Foreword\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e V\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c!--\u003ctr--\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Preface\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Vii\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c!--\u003ctr--\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Bibliography\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e iX\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c!--\u003ctr--\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Introduction\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 1\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c!--\u003ctr--\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e I\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Megasthenes:\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c!--\u003ctr--\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e (A)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Of Taprodane\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 41\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c!--\u003ctr--\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e (B)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e i.
