The compound name Kāśi-Videha occurs in the Kauṣītaki Upaniṣad;⁴ in the Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad⁵ Gārgī describes Ajātaśatru as either a Kāśi or a Videha king. The Śāṅkhāyana Śrauta Sūtra⁶ mentions one Purohita as acting for the kings of Kāśi, Kosala, and Videha; and the Baudhāyana Śrauta Sūtra⁷ mentions Kāśi and Videha in close proximity. Weber,⁸ indeed, throws out the suggestion that the Kāśis and the Videhas together constitute the Uśīnaras, whose name is very rare in Vedic literature. - [Previous: v1.c3.s11.351](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s11.351) - [Next: v1.c3.s11.353](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s11.353) - [Up: v1.c3.s11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s11) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s11.352](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s11.352) · Pramāṇa
