Tie-ji-li

Original Name: 
Chinese Name: 
貼吉里
Notes: 

A polity noted as being part of Yun-nan. There are only two MSL references to the polity, one of which notes that its envoy came to the Chinese court with the envoy of Di-wu-la (Tripura). There has been no firm identification established for this polity, but it was likely situated in today's Assam in India or the present northern Bangladesh or Burma. The ruler of Tie-ji-li is in one reference (Xuan-zong shi-lu, juan 67.6b-7a) recorded as “Tu-le-na-lan” (都樂納蘭), which suggests "...narayan", a common final element in the names of the Koch and Kachari rulers.
