We believe that there was no fixed number of Confederates of the Vajjian League. In conclusion, on the authority of the evidence, we propose that the sources prove the inclusion of the following tribes in the Confederation—the Licchavis of Vesālī,³ the Videhas of Mithilā,⁴ the Nāyas of Kuṇḍapura,⁵ the Mallas of Pāvā and Kusinārā⁶ and the Vajjis. We shall give our reasons for this in discussing the history of each tribe.
