Kāmpilya is identical with modern Kampil on the old Ganges between Budaon and Farrukhabad.⁴ The *Mahābhārata* (1,138,73) and the Jaina *Vividhatīrthakalpa* (p. 50) definitely locate it on the bank of the Ganges. According to N. L. Dey it was situated at a distance of 28 miles north-east of Fathgaḍ in the district of Farrukhabad, U.P. (*Geographical Dictionary*, 88). It is only five miles distant from the railway station of Kaimganj (B.B.C.I. Railway).
