*Kāmboja* — associated with the valley of the Kunar river. It is to be noted that the Purāṇas do not mention Kāmboja as a part of the Indus basin. They merely say, ‘colonies of Kambojas’. This is true since their land Kāmadeśa or Kafiristan lies across the northern watershed of the Kunar river. However, they might have established colonies in the Kunar basin which have been noted by the Purāṇas.
