We are unable to ascertain who was the king, but we are informed that he was a Kṣatriya and an adherent of Buddhism. As we are further told that "his power extended over more than ten of the neighbouring lands,"⁵ we may be sure that Kapiśa was absolutely independent, and had nothing to do with the sovereignty of Kanauj. - [Previous: c11.35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c11.35) - [Next: c11.37](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c11.37) - [Up: c11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c11) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c11.36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c11.36) · Pramāṇa
