*Kākaṃḍi.*—This is the same as Kākandī of the Jaina Paṭṭāvalī and of Buddhist literature. The location of this place is unknown. Kākandī was originally the abode of Ṛṣi Kākanda (*Kākandassa nivāso Kākandī*), that is to say, it was like Mākandī, Sāvatthī, Kosambī, and Kapilavastu (Barua and Sinha, *Barhut Inscriptions*, p. 18).
