础测辞诲丑测腻 (啶呧く啷嬥ぇ啷嵿く啶�), the impregnable city of the gods, has eigth Cakras (鈥榗ycles鈥�). 鈥淭he city of 础测辞诲丑测腻鈥� is of two kinds; with reference to man, the microcosm, and with reference to the universe, the macrocosm.

In the universe the eight cycles are those of the eight suns, presided over by the eight 膧dityas.

All the Kings of this dynasty ruled the country from this city as their capital. Vasi峁ａ弓ha, the great preceptor of the Ik峁腻ku R腻jas, came to 础测辞诲丑测腻 during the period of the reign of Kalm腻峁p腻da, who was the thirtyfifth ruler in succession to Ik峁腻ku. A quarrel broke out between Kalm腻峁p腻da and Vasi峁ａ弓ha during a hunting expedition, and Vasi峁ａ弓ha cursed the King and as the result the latter became a R腻k峁sa. After regaining his former form as King, he apologised to Vasi峁ａ弓ha and they became friends again. At the request of the King in the interests of his dynasty Vasi峁ａ弓ha came to 础测辞诲丑测腻, and the people were greatly elated. A son was born to Vasi峁ａ弓ha by Kalm腻峁p腻da鈥檚 wife and that son was A艣maka.

Ayodhya or Ayotti refers to one of the 108 divyadesas according to Priyavaccan Pillai鈥檚 compendium of the Ramayana based on the Nalayirativviyappirapantam.鈥擜yotti (Ayodhya) is the most controversial venue on earth as a center of the Rama Cult. The Ramanayas, in all languages, claim Ayodhya to be the birth place of Rama. Nobody could dispute the thesis. If the question is the mandir or masjid (mosque), we will have to decide first who (Rama or Babar) was earlier in point of time. The simple fact is that Islam, as a religion, did not exist at the time of Rama-rajya. Ayodhya, Rama and Sita appear in Tamil literature since the Cankam Age (cf. Purananuru). No other remark is possible within the historical perspective of Ayodhya and Rama and not to speak of Babar.

It is adjacent to Faizabad city at south end in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Ayodhya used to be the capital of the ancient Kosala Kingdom. It has an average elevation of 93 meters (305 feet).

In the Ramayana, it is described covering an area of 250 km2 (97 sq mi), and was capital of the Hindu kingdom Kaushal. It is on the banks of the Ganges, a river whose waters cleanse all sin, and on the right bank of Ghagra. The Ikshvaku of the solar clan (suryavansha) was its ruling dynasty.

The Jain agamas also record the visit of Mahavira, the last tirthankara of Jainism. The city is also the birthplace of five Tirthankaras, including the first, Rishabha, and the ninth Ganadhara of Mahavira.

In Buddhism, the city is important in the heritage of Buddhism, with several Buddhist temples, monuments and centers of learning established here during the Mauryan Empire and Gupta Dynasty. Ayodhya reached its peak of trade during the Gupta dynasty.

India history and geography

: archive.org: Personal and geographical names in the Gupta inscriptions

础测辞诲丑测腻 (啶呧く啷嬥ぇ啷嵿く啶�) or 础测辞诲丑测腻惫腻蝉补办补 is a place-name classified as a 惫腻蝉补办补 (abode or inhabitation) and mentioned in the Gupta inscriptions. The Gupta empire (r. 3rd-century CE), founded by 艢r墨 Gupta, covered much of ancient India and embraced the Dharmic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. 础测辞诲丑测腻 is described as a victorious camp, full of great ships, and elephants and horses.

础测辞诲丑测腻 has been venerated as one of the most important and holy places of the Hindus. Vin墨t腻 was another name for this city. Its other names including Vi峁嚹� (Vin墨t腻) are mentioned in the Vividhat墨rthakalpa (p. 29). Fa-Hsien calls it Sha-che and Ptolemy knew it as Sogeda. 础测辞诲丑测腻 and S腻keta have been treated by many writers as being identical. Csoma de koros calls this place as 鈥淪腻ketan or 础测辞诲丑测腻鈥� and H. H. Wilson in his dictionary, refers to S腻keta as 鈥渢he city of 础测辞诲丑测腻鈥�. Several passages in the Raghuva峁兣沘 (8.5.79) confirm it.The Vividhat墨rthakalpa (p. 24) mentions S腻keyam (S腻keta) as asynonym for 础测辞诲丑测腻, but in the Buddhist literature we find separate references to 础测辞诲丑测腻 and S腻keta which creates doubt about their identity and suggests that the two existed separately.

The ancient city of 础测辞诲丑测腻 or S腻keta is described in the R腻m腻ya峁嘺 as situated on the banks of the Saray奴 or Sarj奴 river. During the Buddhist period, 础测辞诲丑测腻 was divided into Uttara (Northern) Kosala and Dak峁峁嘺 (Southern) Kosala.The river Saray奴 was the dividing line between the two provinces. 础测辞诲丑测腻 was the capital of the latter. Ancient tradition believes it to have been built by Manu.

Ayodhya is located 175 kms in the north of Prayag whereas Vindhyachal (P腻riy腻tra) and Shonabhadra are located within 100 kms in the South-east of Prayag. Greek historians refer to the river 鈥淓rrannaboas鈥�. In all probability, Errannaboas derived from Yamuna-Sarasvati. The Chinese translation of 鈥淟ife of Vasubandhu鈥� has assumed A-yu-ja to be Ayodhya. If we add 鈥淧鈥�, it can be Pa-yu-ja or Prayaga. Thus, Pratishthanapura or Prayagabhadra or Ayodhya can be identified as Polibothra.

础测辞诲丑测腻 seems to have been the earliest capital [of Kosala], and S腻keta the next. In Buddha鈥檚 time, 础测辞诲丑测腻 had sunk to the level of an unimportant town (Buddhist India, p. 34), but S腻keta and S腻vatth墨 (艢r腻vast墨) were two of the six great cities of India (cf. Mah腻parinibb腻na Sutta). 础测辞诲丑测腻 or Oudh was a town on the river Saraj奴. Some think that S腻keta and 础测辞诲丑测腻 were identical, but Prof. Rhys Davids has been successful to point out that both cities were existing in the Buddha鈥檚 time. Besides S腻keta and S腻vatth墨, there were other minor towns like Setavya (P腻y腻si Suttanta) and Ukka峁弓ha (Amba峁弓ha Sutta) included in Kosala proper.

Ayojjh腻 represents Sanskrit 础测辞诲丑测腻 of the R腻m腻ya峁嘺 and A-yu-te of Yuan Chwang who places it 600 li to the south-east of the neighbourhood of Navadevakula city identified with Newal in Unao district, U.P. 础测辞诲丑测腻 is only a mile from Fyzabad. The Janapada roughly corresponds to modern Oudh.
