In the time of Mahākosala's son and successor, Pasenadi or Prasenajit, Kāśi still formed a part of the Kosalan empire. In the *Lohichcha Sutta*⁷ Buddha asks a person named Lohichcha the following questions: "Now what think you Lohichcha? Is not king Pasenadi of Kosala in possession of Kāśi and Kosala?" Lohichcha replies, " Yes, that is so, Gotama."¹ We learn from the *Mahāvagga*² that a brother of Pasenadi acted as the viceroy of Kāśi.
