Avanti, which Bopp makes a mountain, according to Kosegarten and Mr.Wilson is a city, Oujein.

Bopp draws a somewhat fanciful analogy between Avanti and the Aventine at Rome.

He refers also to Himavan, qu.

Mavanten, 'montem.' The philological student will do well to consult this note of Bopp.

In the Meghaduta, Oujein is Aventi: Behold the city, whose immortal fame, Glows in Avanti's or Visala's name.
