According to Bühler, Rock Edict XIII also mentions two vassal tribes Viśa (Besatae of the *Periplus*?) and Vajri (Vṛijikas?). More recent writers do not accept Bühler's reading and substitute (*Rāja*) Visayamhi, ‘in the (king's) territory,’ in its place. There is, thus no indubitable reference either to the Vṛijikas or the ‘Besatae’ in the inscriptions of Aśoka.
