This study investigated place names to the east of South India transcribed in 『Ganglido(Honilgangriyeokdaegukdojido)』. The place names were arranged in accordance to characteristics of the map where capitals of the past dynasties were transcribed. Although the arrangement was simple, but it was discovered that Minata(美那它) that had not yet been identified was Manyakheta. In that Godabari River seemed to be the Northern limit on the map, the map could be understood under the influence of the Chola.
The South India in 『Ganglido』 used place names that had been known from the ancient times, but when it was approached in time line of the Chola Dynasty of the 11th century and 13th century, the geographical information was definitely shown. It seemed that the period when information on Sari(沙里), Mapala(馬八兒), Gaik(加益) and Molteukbul(没特不) was reflected was the middle period of the 11th through 13th century. Such place names were characterized by commercial and international nature and reflected activities of multi-national merchants. The words such as Minata(美那它), Nagulri(那乞里) and Gwandae(光歹) showed the information on the status of cities or inland areas.
Meanwhile, it was assumed that information on South India was obtained as exchanges between Chola Dynasty and Song Dynasty increased in the 11th century and was the results of direct exchange in information on South India. However, the local place names identified in the Song Dynasty and those of 『Ganglido』 were different in types, and it is hard to simply consider that the information on South India in 『Ganglido』 was collected by exchanges between Song and Chola dynasties.
In consideration of internationality that was found in information on place names and exactness on inland areas, it was assumed that merchant organizations(generally speeking the merchant guilds or the trade guilds) that made active cooperation for administration and national management of Chola Dynasty would exist rather than Chola Dynasty itself. Activities of merchant organizations were vaguely detected before and after Christ, but they were grown up as influential organizations over the whole South India along with territorial expansion in about 10th century. In particular, as Ancuvannam and others became powerful cooperators through networking between commercial cities of Chola and cooperation for tax collection, and Chola supported merchants based on tax and military power obtained, they had an influential power over the whole South India. In particular, merchant organizations with the Kerala Coast as the base were multi-national and as they were connected to diverse religions including Christians, the Jews, the Persians, the Arabs, they were connected to inland merchant organizations in about 10th century. In consideration of international and commercial characteristics or characteristics on information on inland areas, it is assumed that place names of South India reflected their activities.
South India transcribed in 『Ganglido』 is very distorted. However, as a result of defining place names of cities, it was discovered that significantly exact information was collected. It was also assumed that it was an influence of active activities of multi-national merchant organizations. That is, it indicated that the transcription of South India in 『Ganglido』 reflected commercial innovation that had appeared in center of South India in the 11th century through 13th century and trade network between merchants.
