Māhissati

According to the Mahāgovinda Sutta (D.ii.) it was the capital of Avanti and was founded at the same time as Campā.

It was probably the capital of Southern Avanti, Avanti Dakkhiṇāpaṭha, the capital of Northern Avanti being Ujjenī.

In the Māhābhārata (ii.31, 10) Avanti and Māhismati are spoken of as two different countries.
