________________ GEOGRAPHY 39 In a modern Jaina dedicatory inscription the hill of Pabhosā is placed just outside the town of Kaušāmbi (Kaušāmbi-nagarabāhya-Prabhāsācalopari). At Kosambi were two famous gardens known as Ghositārāma and Pāvārikambayana, There was a reserve-forest of Pārileyyaka in Vatsa (rather in Ceti) the way to which from Kosambi lay through the village of Bālakaloņakāra and Pãcinavamgadāya. Pärileyyaka itself stood on a road from Kosambi to Sāvatth1.2 The Vinaya Culla vagga (xii) records a journey on foot from Kosambi to Ahoganga (Adhoganga) hill, from there to Soreyya, from Soreyya to Samkassa (Samkissa), from there to Kannakujja (Kanauj), from Kannakujja to Udumbara, from there to Aggalapura, and from Aggalapura to Sahajāti up to which the country-boats could ply. The Vinaya Pitaka (iii, p. 1f.) records also similar journey from Verañjā to Benares via Soreyya, Samkassa and Kaņņakujja after crossing the Ganges at Payāgapatitthāna. Bhagga: This was the land of the Bhaggas (Bhargas) which became a dependency of Vatsa with Sumsumāragira as its chief town.
