³ In the Nikāya passage his kingdom is said to have been, in the middle of the seven kingdoms of Kaliṅga, Assaka, Avanti, Sovira, Videha, Aṅga and Kāsi. Prof. Rhys Davids in a note on the above passage, says: ‘None of the seven kingdoms is in the midst of others. Benares would suit that position less badly than any other.’ op. cit., p. 270. If Reṇu’s kingdom is not to be included in the list, Kuru may well be a better substitute.
