The Doctrine of the Jainas, Described after the Old Sources c9.54

Each of the two halves, of which all southern ones contain some more places than the northern ones, is governed by a prince. These pairs of princes in the above quoted sequence of the kinds are: Camara and Bali Vairoyaṇa, Dharaṇa and Bhūyāṇanda, Veṇudeva and Veṇudāli, Harikānta and Haris(s)aha, Aggisiha and Aggimāṇava, Puṇṇa and Vasiṭṭha, Jalakānta and Jalappaha, Amiyagai and Amiyavāhaṇa, Velamba and Pabhañjaṇa, Ghosa and Mahāghosa. It is but in the case of Camara and to a smaller degree of Bali that we come to know more than the mere names of these princes, while the remaining pairs stand back completely, and it is only by their surnames (Viy. 200b) that we are, partly, informed of their origin. With regard to Camara and his Asurakumāras (and equally with Sakka, § 131) we can speak of something like a mythology (comp. Viy. 169b ff., 319b, 752a, etc.) His residence—it is called Camaracancā—as that of Bali bears the name of Balicancā—is described in Viy. 144a, 617a, though it is added that it does not serve him as a dwelling but simply as place of entertainment.
