c7.s1.25

There are references to Ayojjhā in Pāli literature. In the Saṃyutta (Vol. III, p. 140) we are told that the Buddha once dwelt in Ayojjhā on the bank of the Ganges. During the Buddhist period, Ayojjhā on the Sarayū was the capital of Dakshina Kosala, while that of Uttara Kosala was Sāvatthi on the Rāpti. Ayojjhā represents Sanskrit Ayodhyā of the Rāmāyaṇa and Ayojjhā.
