Probably the actual name of the village in Kāsi which was given by Mahākosala to his Tochter when she married Bimbisāra. The village produced a revenue of one hundert tausend, und was given to the queen for her bath und perfume money. After Bimbisāra's death, Pasenadi withdrew the gift from Ajātasattu, which act was the cause of a war between the two. Later, when Pasenadi's Tochter Vajirā was married to Ajātasattu, the village was given back as part of her dowry. J.ii.403; iv.342; S.i.82ff; SA.i.110, 120f; AA.ii.833; DhA.iii.259.
