Kampilla (Kampillaka, Kampilliya)


A city in UttarapañcÄla, and probably its capital. Dummukha was once its king (J.iii.379; J.ii.214; also Mtu.i.283).

Sometimes (e.g.,J.iii.79; iv.396; v.21; vi.391; 464) Kampilla is spoken of as being a kingdom, of which Uttarapañcala was a city.

Once AlÄ«nasatta is spoken of as Kampilla because he was the king of the city of the same name. J.v.34; see also RÄmÄyana i.34.
