Rhys Davids thinks²³ that possibly they adjoined each other “like London and Westminster.” The site of Sāketa has been identified with the ruins of Sujān Kot, on the Sai River, in the Unao district of the modern province of Oudh. The river referred to is probably the Sarayū, which flows into the Gharghara, a tributary of the Ganges. - [Previous: v2.c36.2004](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.2004) - [Next: v2.c36.2006](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.2006) - [Up: v2.c36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.2005](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.2005) · Pramāṇa
