THE KINGS OF MAGADHA. 93 



ments were on the banks of the Hydaspes or Vitasta, 

 the country bordering upon which is called, by Pto- 

 lemy, the country of the Pandovi or Pandavas. 

 Chrishna had a small estate near Divaraca^ in Gur- 

 jurat, where he generally lived. 



The first kings of the Dynasty of the Barhadrafhas 

 being omitted in the table, are given here from the 

 Harivansa. The famous Uparichara was the sixth 

 in lineal descent from Cuiiu ; and his son was 



Vri'iiadrath'a 



Cush'agra 



Vrishabha 



PusnPAVA'N 



Satyasamita 



Urja 



Sambhava 



Jara'-Sand'ita. 

 Jara'-Sand'ha, literally old Sand'iia or Sand'has, 

 was the lord paramount of India or Mahd Rajd, and 

 in the spoken dialects Jlla-llaj. This word was pro- 

 nounced Mork'is by the Greeks ; for Hesychius says, 

 that Morieis signifies king in India , and in another 

 place, that M«i in the language of that country, signi- 

 fied great. Nonnus, in his Dionysiacs'*, calls the 

 lord paramount of India, ]\Iorrheus, and says that 

 his name was Sandes, with the title of Hercules. 

 Old Sand'ha is considered as a hero to this day in 

 India, and pilgrimages, I am told, are yearly per- 

 formed to the place of his abode, to the cast of Gayd, 

 in south Bahar, It is called IIaja-Griha, or the 

 royal mansion, in the low hills of Rdja-giri, or the 

 royal mountains; though their name I suspect to be 

 derived from Raja-Gkiha The Dionysiacs of Nox- 

 Nus are really the history of the Mahd Bhdrata, or 

 great war, as we shall see hereafter. A certain Dio- 

 NYsius wrote also a history of the Mahabhdrata in 



* Noon. Dionvs. lib. 34. v. 197, .
