The peninsula ofKathiawad or S a urashtra, lying between the gulfs of K a o h h and Cambay or Khambhat, and surrounded on the south and west by the Arabian Sea, is the holy land of Western India. It was known to the Greeks and Romans under the name of Saurastrene; the Muhammadans called it by the Prakritized name of S o r a t h, and to this day a large district in the south-west, a hundred miles in length, still retains that name.
