Before his accession to the throne, Udāyi Bhadda seems to have acted as his father’s Viceroy at Campā.³ The Jaina work Pariśiṣṭaparvan tells us that it was Udāyin who founded on the bank of the Ganges a new capital which came to be known as Pāṭaliputra, though the first beginning of a garrison town appears to have been made during the Buddha’s lifetime. The Vāyupurāṇa bears testimony to this fact and says that Udaya built the city of Kusumapura in the fourth year of his reign.⁴
