History
Dr Buhler[2] identified Satiyaputra with the Kingdom of Satvats. Mr. V A Smith[3] identified it with the Tuluva country on the west coast. Sir R G Bhandarkar[4] would locate the kingdom in Poona district, where the number of families bear the name Satpute. Mr. Smith[5] now seems inclined to identify Satiyaputra with Satyamangalam in the western Ghats.[6]
