| May 24 at 16:32 | comment | added | Vom | @Bingming , in 2.70.1-2 , the messangers are said to have met Yudhājit in Rājagṛha. | |
| May 24 at 16:19 | comment | added | Bingming | Anyway, I checked the commentaries on 2.68.21, the comms. Amṛtakataka and Tilaka state that Girivraja is Kekayapura and is also known as Rājagṛha. Other comms. such as Bhūṣaṇa, Tattvadīpikā, Śiromaṇī, etc. state that Girivraja is Kekayapura, but don't mention Rājagṛha. | |
| May 24 at 16:10 | comment | added | Bingming | may I ask, what is the śloka where they are mentioned to be in Rājagṛha? | |
| May 24 at 16:05 | comment | added | Vom | @Bingming , well Rājagṛha is mentioned as the City where Bharata , Śatrughna , Bharata's uncle Yudhājit and Aśvapati Kaikeya were present. So it might be the capital. So is Girivraja a different city than Rājagṛha? | |
| May 24 at 15:26 | comment | added | Bingming | Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa doesn't mention Rājagṛha as the capital afaik, plus you equated both places, what was the basis of doing so? This question is still not answered. | |
| May 24 at 15:13 | comment | added | Vom | @Bingming , In the Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇam 2.68.21 , The messangers of Ayodhyā are said to have reached "Girivraja" , although this Verse is not present in the Critical Addition. In the Critical the word "Girivraja" , as I've stated in the question occurs only once and that to for a city different from the Kekaya capital. Even in the Vulgate version of the Rāmāyaṇa , the name Girivraja occurs twice , once in 2.68.21 and other in the Bāla Kāṇḍa where it is used for a different city than the Kekaya metropolis. | |
