Behar) was said to have been specially connected with ‘Viśvāmitra’, and named after his patronymic Kauśika.⁸ Other references to ‘Viśvāmitra’ occur,⁹ but are uncertain, especially as the different Viśvāmitras and Kauśikas were confused. - [Previous: c26.21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c26.21) - [Next: c26.23](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c26.23) - [Up: c26](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c26) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c26.22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c26.22) · Pramāṇa
