The Kambojas were later settled to the north-west of the Indus, and are known as Kambujiya in the old Persian inscriptions. A teacher, Kāmboja Aupamanyava, pupil of Madragāra, is mentioned in the Vamśa Brāhmaṇa.² This points to a possible connexion of the Madras, or more probably the Uttara Madras, with the Kambojas, who probably had Iranian as well as Indian affinities. - [Previous: v1.c3.s11.123](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s11.123) - [Next: v1.c3.s11.125](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s11.125) - [Up: v1.c3.s11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s11) ## Cites (2) - [Nirukta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.nirukta.yaska) — Yāska, Sanskrit - [Vaṃśabrāhmaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.vamsa) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s11.124](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s11.124) · Pramāṇa
