Probably the actual name of the village in Kási which was given by Mahákosala to his daughter when she married Bimbisára. The village produced a revenue of one hundred thousand, and was given to the queen for her bath and perfume money. After Bimbisára's death, Pasenadi withdrew the gift from Ajátasattu, which act was the cause of a war between the two. Later, when Pasenadi's daughter Vajirá was married to Ajátasattu, the village was given back as part of her dowry. J.ii.403; iv.342; S.i.82ff; SA.i.110, 120f; AA.ii.833; DhA.iii.259.
