TOWNS—Pāṇini's geography mentions towns which may be grouped under two divisions, called *Udīchyagrāma* (IV.².109) and *Prāchyagrāma* (VII.³.14). Among the *Udīchya* towns some lay in the *Vāhīka* country (*Vāhīka-grāmas*, IV.2.117), and some in its southerly part known as Uśīnara (IV.2.118), while others were located outside Vāhīka towards the west (the present North-West Frontier Province).
