Of the countries included in the Prācya division, Vātsyāyana mentions *Kośala*, but as he speaks of it only once, in describing a practice which it had in common with the Strīrājya,³ we cannot be sure whether it is the northern Kośala which was a part of the Prācya region, or the Kośala in the south. But Vātsyāyana mentions, as we have already seen, Sāketa, the capital of the northern Kośala country in his time.
