The Bodhisattvāvadāna-Kalpalatā⁸ definitely states that Hastināpura was the capital of Kuru kings. King Arjuna of Hastināpura was in the habit of killing those holy men who were unable to satisfy him by answers to the questions put by him.⁹ Sudhanu, son of Suvāhu, another king of Hastināpura, fell in love with a kinnarī in a distant country and came back with her to the capital where he had long been associated with his father in the government of the kingdom.¹⁰
