The political relation between Magadha and Vesālī was friendly. The fact that Ajātasattu is called Vedehiputto or Vaidehiputra (SN., II, p. 268; Commy. on Digha I, p. 47; Commy. on Majjhima I, p. 125; Commy. on Saṃyutta II, p. 215, Dvd., p. 55) goes to show that King Bimbisāra established matrimonial alliance with the Licchavis by marrying a Licchavi princess. In the Majjhima Nikāya (Vol. II, pp. 100-101) we find that the Licchavis were on friendly terms with King Pasenadi of Kosala.
