c9.s7.439

We learn from the *Assaka Jātaka*² that at one time the city of Potali was included in the kingdom of Kāsi, and that its prince, Assaka, was presumably a vassal of the Kāsi monarch. The *Chulla Kāliṅga Jātaka* mentions a king of Assaka named Aruṇa and his minister Nandisena, and refers to a victory which they won over the king of Kaliṅga.
