Ujjānaka—Ujjānaka is evidently a corruption of Uḍyāna; it is written as Uḍyānaka in the Padma Purāṇa (Svarga, ch. 19), see Uḍyāna. According to some authority it also included Kafristan, the country situated on the Indus, now inhabited by the Siyah Posh or “black-clad” from their wearing goatskin dresses (JASB., 1859, p. 317). It is mentioned in the Mahābhārata (Anuśāsana, ch. 25). Ouchang of Sung-yun is evidently a transcription of Ujjānaka.
