Vātsyāyana himself speaks of another country where also similar customs prevailed; He calls it the Grama-nārī-viṣaya, the 'District of village women' which appears rather to be a descriptive epithet than a proper name. The Commentary explains that this district was situated near the Strī-rājya farther away.⁴ It is nowhere else mentioned by Vātsyāyana. Most probably it formed a group of villages where polyandrous people lived and apparently they did not form an independent state like the Strīrājya.
