*Ajamīḍha and Ajakranda.* Patañjali adds to this list three other names, viz. 1. Bodha, 2. Ajakranda and 3. Ajamīḍha. (IV.¹.170; II.289). The prefix *Aja* in the last two names has reference to a local cult deity Asura Ajaka with whom king Sālva was identified as its incarnation (Ādiparva, 61.17).²
