⁴ 'यौधेयादिभ्योऽणञौ' V. 3. 117. The Kāśikā, after this Sūtra, says that with 117, the *āyudhajīvi-saṃgha* description ends. By iv. 1. 178 (to be read with Sūtra 168 *supra*) Pāṇini calls the Yaudheyas a *janapada*, a nation or country, *i.e.*, political community. The Parśvas of Pāṇini were in the, Vāhīka country (See § 34 *infra*), and there were Brahmins and Rājanyas amongst them. The Parśvas are mentioned in the Vedas also, VI., I, pp. 504-5.
