⁷ For detailed accounts of the Madras see Dr. H. C. Ray in *JASB*, 1922, 257; and Law, *Some Kṣatriya Tribes of Ancient India*, p. 214. Mr. S. N. Mitra points out that the *Paramattha-dīpanī* on the *Therīgāthā* (p. 127) (wrongly) places Sāgala-nagara in Magadha-raṭṭha. But the *Apadāna* quotations on p. 131 leave no room for doubt that Madra is the correct name of the kingdom of which Sāgala (Sākala) was the capital.
