Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Vajji or Vrijji was one of the principal mahajanapadas of ancient India. Both the Buddhist text Anguttara Nikaya and the Jaina text Bhagavati Sutra included Vajji in their lists of solasa mahajanapadas. The name of this mahajanapada was derived from one of its ruling clans, the V jis. This clan is mentioned by Panini, Kautilya and Xuanzang.The territory of the Vajji mahajanapada was located on the north of the Ganga River and extended up to the Terai region of Nepal. On the west, the Gandak River was probably the boundary between it and the Malla mahajanapada and possibly also separated it with the Kosala mahajanapada. On the east, its territory was probably extended up to the forests along the banks of the rivers, Koshi and Mahananda. The capital of this Mahajanapada was Vaishali. Other important towns and villages were Kundapura or Kundagrama (a suburbof Vaishali), Bhoganagara and Hatthigama.
