(v) Nāsikya appears to be associated with the present town of Nasik and the janapada probably covered the whole of the Darna basin in which Nasik is situated. The Vāyu Purāṇa adds that, besides these janapadas, there are others also which are located on the banks of the Narmadā but their names are not mentioned. This statement shows that the above janapadas are exclusive of the Narmadā janapadas, which is correct since none of the janapadas mentioned above happens to lie in or about the Narmadā valley.
