c10.21
He was, apparently, the king, or Rāja, of a petty state, corresponding roughly with the present Patna and Gayā Districts; his capital being Rājagriha (Rājgīr), among the hills near Gayā. Nothing is known about his history, except the statement that he placed his son in Benares, and himself took up his abode at Girivraja near Rājagriha. The second, third, and fourth kings, likewise, are mere names.
