Kātyāyana and Patañjali following Pāṇini add more examples to his. For instance, under Sālvāvayava (IV.1.173) Patañjali mentions the names of the states belonging to the Sālva Janapada (*Bhāshya*, II.269); under *sūtra* IV.1.172 illustrating names of countries beginning with the letter *n*, Nichaka and Nīpa (II.269); and under the Rājanya *gaṇa*, Vasāti, Devayāta, Bailvavana, Ambarīshaputra and Ātmakāmeya, which probably go back to Pāṇini himself (IV.2.52; II.282).
