Kamapitha
Kamapitha is one of the four Kamarupa Pithas, the geographical divisions of ancient Kamarupa. Dineshchandra Sircar points out that these divisions are not found in the Kamarupa inscriptions and that they might be fabrications from late medieval sources,〔"These theoretical divisions are not known from the early epigraphic records and may have been fabricated in the late medieval period." 〕 such as 16th-century work Yogini Tantra gives the boundaries of Kamapitha and other three pithas, the same work which gives boundaries of ancient Kamrup kingdom as well.〔''Journal of the Assam Research Society - Volumes 13-15'' - Page 90,1959 Yoginl-tantra divides Kamarupa into four pithas or region (Ratna pitha, Swarna pitha, Kama pitha, and Saumara pitha)〕〔Sen, Dineschandra (1988), ''The Ballads of Bengal - Volume 1'', Mittal Publications, p. 375〕 The eastern border of Kamarupa was the temple of the goddess Tamreshvari (''Pūrvāte Kāmarūpasya devī Dikkaravasini'', given in the 10th-century Kalika Purana) near present-day Sadiya〔"...the temple of the goddess Tameshwari (Dikkaravasini) is now located at modern Sadiya about 100 miles to the northeast of Sibsagar" .〕
==Boundaries==
Traditional sources defines boundaries of Kamapitha as area between Manas river and Silghat,〔Samiti, Kamarupa Anusandhan (1985), ''Journal of the Assam Research Society - Volume 28'', p. 100., Kamapitha between Manas and Silghat on the north bank of the Brahmaputra〕 Sankosh and Kapili river,〔Kakati, Banikanta (1967),''The mother goddess Kamakhya'',p. 7, 1) Ratnapitha between the Karatoya and the Svarnakosa ; (2) Kamapitha between the Svamakosa and the Kapill〕 based on ancient work Yogini Tantra, areas comprising western boundary of current Kamrup and part of Nagaon district as eastern boundary, in first case, while in second case, Undivided Kamrup plus small part of Undivided Goalpara District.
Modern scholarship, considering change in course of rivers, gives Kamapitha area as Guwahati area up to the Manas River,〔Goswami, Kali Prasad (1998). ''Kāmākhyā Temple: Past and Present'', p. 25, The Guwahati area upto the Manas river formed the waist on the position of the genital organ (kama) and was known as the Kamapitha.〕 which is Kamrup, as Kamapitha. Pratap Chandra Choudhury, has no difficulty in accepting that Kamapitha of Tantras, is nothing else than Kamrup and Kamakhya area of Guwahati itself.〔Pratap Chandra Choudhury, ''The history of civilisation of the people of Assam to the twelfth century A.D.'', 1959, Page 448〕 Kamarupa Anusandhan Samiti, also presses that it is rather absurd, to exclude Kamakhya from the region called Kamapitha.〔Kamarupa Anusandhan Samiti (1985), ''The Journal of the Assam Research Society'' - Volume 28, Page 99 It is absurd to exclude Kamakhya from the region called Kama- pitha〕
