Koli—The country of Koli was situated on the opposite side of Kapilavastu across the river Rohiṇī; its capital was Devadaha. Koli was the kingdom of Suprabuddha or Añjanarāja, whose two daughters Māyā Devī and Prajāpatī alias Gautamī were married to Buddha's father Suddhodana. It was also the kingdom of Daṇḍapāṇi, the brother of Buddha's mother Māyā Devī, whose daughter Gopā or Yaśodharā was married by Buddha. The kingdom of Koli has been identified with a portion of the district of Basti in Oudh, comprising a sacred place called Barāhachhatra (Upham's Mahāvaṃsa, ch. I). P. C. Mukherji has identified the Rohiṇī with the rivulet Rohin between Rummindei and Koli in the Nepalese Terai (The Antiquities in the Terai, Nepal, p. 48). Same as Vyāghrapura.
