C.⁴ He gives the form Āhicchatrī and Kānyakubjī in the sense of a woman born at these two towns respectively.⁵ The use of the adjective derived from the name of the town thus clearly shows that Kānyakubja was a well-known place in the second century B. C. and it must have been founded considerably earlier. - [Previous: c8.s6.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c8.s6.7) - [Next: c8.s6.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c8.s6.9) - [Up: c8.s6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c8.s6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c8.s6.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c8.s6.8) · Pramāṇa
