Sudakṣiṇa, the King of the country, Kāmboja. He was present at Draupadī’s svayaṃvara. In Mahābhārata, Karṇa Parva, Chapter 156 we read that his younger brother was killed by Arjuna. The Kings of Kāmboja were all known as Kāmboja. Long ago, this country was ruled by a King named Kāmboja. In Mahābhārata, Śānti Parva, Chapter 166, Verse 77, we see that this Kāmboja was given a sword by the King Dhundhumāra. Perhaps it was from this King Kāmboja that the country came to be called ‘Kāmboja’. - [Previous: c7.1907](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.1907) - [Next: c7.1909](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.1909) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7) ## Linked texts (1) - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.12.166) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.1908](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.1908) · Pramāṇa
