Pāṇini also refers to boundaries of *janapadas* as known in the expression *janapada-tadavadhi* (IV.2.124). This indicates that the *janapadas* formed the boundaries of other *janapadas*, without needing any smaller landmark like a village (*Kāśikā*, *tadavadhirapi janapada eva gṛihyate na grāmaḥ*).
