²² *Kosala* (VI.1.171). As seen above this figures as one of the sixteen *Mahājanapadas* of the Pāli texts. Its town Śrāvastī is mentioned by Pāṇini in a *Gaṇa-pāṭha*; also the two terms Sarayū and Ikshvāku in *sūtra* VI.4.174. Patañjali mentions Ikshvāku as a *janapada* (IV.2.104; II.298) which was obviously the same as Kosala.
