c56.6

According to Epic tradition, Suhma was once conquered by Pāṇḍu (*Mbh.*, *Ādiparvan*, Chap. 113), and at another time by Karṇa (*Mbh.*, *Karṇaparvan*, Chap. 8, 19). It was in Sumbha or Suhma that the Buddha delivered the *Janapada-kalyāṇī Sutta*, while dwelling in a forest near the town of Desaka¹ (*Telapatta Jātaka*, Jātaka No. 96, Vol. I, p. 393).
