The old territory of the **Videhas** had, as already stated in an earlier section, its capital at Mithilā which has been identified with Janakpur within the Nepāl border. The *Rāmāyaṇa* clearly distinguishes it from the region round Vaiśālī.³ But in Buddhist and Jaina texts the distinction is not always maintained and Videha is used in a wider sense to include the last-mentioned area.⁴
