TESHU TRISHU KUMARESHU JATESHU KURUJANGALAM. 
KurvvotHa KURUKSHETRAM TRAYAMETAD AVARDHATA. 
Adi—Ch. 109-1, 
(Trans —By the birth of the three princes all the three, 
Kuru, Kurukshetra, and Kuru-Jangala, increased. 
This clearly shows that the Kuru kingdom was divided 
into three parts of which Kuru-Jangala was one. 
VirastnAM KAsisvre DESANAM KURUJANGALAM. 
SARVA-DHARMA-VIDAM BuHISHMA PURANAM GAJASAR- 
VAYAM. 
Adi—Ch. 109-24. 
(Trans.—Of the progenitors of heroes the daughter of 
(the king of) Kasi, of the countries Kuru-Jangala, of all 
the people versed in righteousness Bhishma, of all the cities 
Gajasahvaya.) 
Kuru-Jangalam will be irrelevent in the above verse if it 
does not mean a country under the Kurus. 
To substantiate my statement further I shall quote one of 
those verses that are cited by the learned Pandit in support of 
his contentions. 
Tatan KURUSRESBTHAMUPAITYA PAURAH PRADAKSHINAM 
CHAKRURADINASATVAH 
TAM BRAHMANASCHABHYAVADAN PRASANNA MUKHYASCHA 
SARVE KURUJANGALANAM. Vana— Chap. 23-8. 
(Trans.—The citizens, rich in might, and all the principal 
persons of the Kuru-Jangala people then cheerfully encircled 
the head of the Kurus, who was being greeted by the Brah- 
manas. ) 
Why would the people of the Kuru-Jangala country 
have paid homage to the Kuru chief if they had not been his 
subjects. 
Again, in the Vanaparva we find the following verse :-— 
TIRTHAYATRAMANUKRAMAN PRAPTOSMI KurRUJANGALAM 
YAaDRICHCHHAYA DHARMARAJAM DRISHTAVAN KAM- 
YAKE Vana-Chap. 10-11. 
(Trans.—Going on pilgrimage I of my own accord reached 
the Kuru-Jangala country and saw Dharmaraja in the 
Kamyaka forest. 
It signifies that the Kamyaka vana was in the Kuru- 
Jangala country. 
ow we find the location of the Kamyaka vana from the 
‘ following verse :— : 
TataH SaRASWATIKULE SAMESHU MARUDHANYASHU 
KAMYAKAM NAMA DADRISHU VANAM MUNIJANAPRIYAM. 
Vana—Chap. 5-3.
