Karambiya untranslated

Karambiya (v.l. Karambhiya). A seaport. Thither came a man, saved from a wreck, without any clothes, who set up as a naked ascetic and became known by the name of Karambiya. Among his followers was a Nāga-king, Paṇḍara, and also a Garuḍa-king. At the latter’s request, he persuaded Paṇḍara to tell him how the Nāgas escaped destruction by the Garuḍas, and later he divulged the secret to the Garuḍa-king. The ascetic’s treachery was discovered, and when he swore his innocence his head split in seven and he was dragged to Avīci.

The story is given in the Paṇḍarajātaka (Ja.v.75ff), and is referred to in the Milindapañha (p.201).
