⁵ "Karṇa *having gone to* (gatvā) Rājapura" vanquished the Kambojas. The passage can hardly imply that Karṇa marched to Kamboja "*via* Rājapura." It is also futile to suggest that Rājapura had anything to do with Rājagṛiha in Bactria (as is done by a writer in the *Proceedings and Transactions of the Sixth Oriental Conference*, Patna, p. 109). The *Ram.* I. 6. 22; the *Mbh.* VII. 119. 14. 26. and the *Mudrārākshasa*, II. clearly distinguishes Kamboja from Bālhīka (*Bactria*).
