The Kambojas were supposed to have lost their original Aryan customs and to have become barbarous.³ From the Bhuridatta Jātaka,⁴ we learn that many Kambojas who were not Aryans told that people were purified by killing insects, flies, snakes, bees, frogs, etc. The Jātaka tradition is corroborated by Yāska's Nirukta and Yuan Chwang's account of Rājapura and the adjoining countries of the north-western India.⁵
