⁶ Raghuv iii, 13–21. Not every archaeological statement in the Raghuv is correct, for it refers to Puṣpapura (i. e. Pāṭaliputra) as existing (vi, 24) in Aja’s time; and speaks of the Śūrasena king as a Nīpa (vi, 45–6), whereas the ‘Śūrasena’ kingdom did not apparently exist then, and its king could hardly have been a Nīpa (see S. Pañcāla).
