² *Cf. Modern Review*, July, 1919, pp. 55-56. According to the *Ārya Mañjuśrī-Mūla-Kalpa* (Vol. I. ed. Ganapati Śāstrī pp. 603 f) the dominions of Ajātaśatru embraced, besides Magadha, Aṅga, Vārāṇasī (Benares), and Vaiśālī in the north. In the opinion of Dr. Jayaswal the Parkham statue is a contemporary portrait of king Ajātaśatru But Kūṇika of Parkham (Lüders List No. 150) is obviously not a king.
