³ For the *Ugras* and *Bhogas* see Hoernle, *Uvāsaga-dasāo*, II, p. 139 (§210); *Bṛih. Up.* III. 8. 2; S. B. E., XLV, 71n. in the *Aṅguttara Nikāya*, I. 26 (Nipāta I. 14. 6), the Ugras are associated with Vaiśālī (*Uggo gahapati Vesāliko*), and in IV. 212 with Hatthigāma. A city of *Ugga* is mentioned in the *Dhamma-pada commentary*, Harvard Oriental Series, Vol. 30, 184. Hoernle refers (*Uvāsaga-dasāo*, II, App. III, 57) to a place called Bhoganagara, or ‘City of the Bhogas’. The *Mahā-parinibbāna Suttanta* mentions Bhaṇḍagāma, Hatthigāma, Ambagāma, Jambugāma and Bhoganagara on the way from Vaiśālī to Pāvā (Dīgha, II, 122-26). *Cf.* also Sutta Nipāta, 194. The association of a body of **Kauravas** with the Vajjian group of clans is interesting. Kuru Brāhmaṇas, *e.g.*, Ushasti Chākrāyaṇa had begun to settle in the capital of Videha long before the rise of Buddhism. For the **Aikshvākas** of Vaiśālī, *see* *Rām.* I. 47, 11.
