| 179 | Vepulla | A mountain. | I, 445 ; IV, 232 ; VI, 271, 326. | Same as Vipula, one of the five hills surrounding Rājagaha. Cunningham identifies it with the Caityaka named in the Mahābhārata list of the five hills, as its summit is even now crowned with the ruins of a lofty Caitya. C. A. G. I., pp. 531-2. |
| 180 | Sakula | A city—capital of Mahimsaka. Not very far from it was a village of hunters. | V, 337. | It is not identifiable. If our conjectural identification of Mahimsaka with the Mūṣikas be correct, then the capital city which Khāravela's army destroyed must have been this Sakula. Unfortunately the Inscription is silent about the name. If it was Sakula it must be located on the Kṛṣṇa river. Not identifiable. |
| 181 | Saṃkhapāla. | A lake in the Mahimsaka kingdom which flowed the Kaṇṇabeṇṇā river. | V, 162. | |
