[^ *]: Beside *mahárája*, which is found even earlier, i. 5. 3. 21, ii. 5. 4. 9. [^ †]: With the surname Chaikitáneya Vṛih. Ár. Mádhy., i. 1. 26.—In Mahá-Bhárata, xii. 5136, 8603, a *Páñchályo rájá* named Brahmadatta is mentioned, who reigned in Kámpílya.—Chaikitáneya is to be distinguished from Chaikitáyana in the Chhándogyopan., iii. 8.—[On a curious coincidence of a legend in the Vṛihad-Ár. with a Buddhist legend, see *I. St.*, iii. 156, 157.] [^ ‡]: In the tenth book of the Taitt. Ár., Kátyáyana (instead of °ní) is a name of Durgá; on this use see *I. St.*, ii. 192 [xiii. 422].—In the Gaṇa-páṭha to Páṇini, Kátyáyana is wanting. [But Kátyáyaní is to be gathered from Páṇini himself, iv. 1. 18; see *I. St.*, v. 61, 63, 64. A Kátyáyaníputra Játúkarṇya is quoted in the Śáṅkh. Ár., viii. 10. Patañjali in the Mahábháshya mentions several Kátyas (*I. St.*, xiii. 399, 407), and indeed the *várttikakára* directly belongs to this family. In no other Vedic texts have I found either the Katas or the Kátyas, Kátyáyanas, excepting in the *pravara* section appended at the end of the Áśvaláyana-Śrauta-Sútra, xii. 13–15, in which the Katas and the patronymic, Kátya, are mentioned several times. The Kuru-Katas are cited in the gaṇa ‘*Garga*,’ and the family of the Katas seems therefore to have been specially connected with the Kurus; see *I. St.*, i. 227, 228.]
