The name of the principality represents the Sanskrit **Uraśā** which formed part of the modern **Hazāra** District. It adjoined the realm of Abisares, and was probably, like the latter, an offshoot of the old kingdom of Kamboja. Uraśā is mentioned in several Kharoshṭhī inscriptions, and, in the time of the geographer Ptolemy, absorbed the neighbouring realm of Taxilā.
