罽饒夷 [ji rao yi]—Kanyākubja — [Place Name] Also known as Kanyākubja (羯若鞠闍 [jie ruo ju du]), it is the so-called "City of the Humpbacked Maidens" (曲女城 [qu nu cheng]). Today it is called Kanauj (克腦其 [ke nao qi]), located between the Ganges River (恒河 [heng he]) and the Yamuna River (禪那河 [chan na he]). The ancient royal city was called Kusumapura (拘蘇磨補羅 [ju su mo bu luo]). During the reign of King Brahmadatta (梵授王 [fan shou wang]), a sage (仙人 [xian ren]) was angered, and with his evil curse (惡咒 [e zhou]), he caused ninety-nine court maidens (婇女 [cai nu]) to become hunchbacked simultaneously, hence the name. The Further Biographies of Eminent Monks (續高僧傳 [xu gao seng chuan]) renders it as Jiānnájiūbōshé (鞬拏究撥闍 [jian na jiu bo du]), which is translated as "City of Emerging Ears" (耳出城 [er chu cheng]). When Xuanzang (玄奘 [xuan zang]) traveled to India, Harṣavardhana (曷利沙伐彈那 [he li sha fa dan na]), a king of the Vaishya (吠奢種 [fei she zhong]) caste, ruled this region. He is the famous King Harshavardhana (戒日王 [jie ri wang]).

罽饒夷—【地名】又曰羯若鞠闍 Kanyākubja,所謂曲女城也。今曰克腦其 Kanauj,在恒河禪那河之間。太古王城曰拘蘇磨補羅 Kusumapura,在梵授王時,觸仙人之怒,以其惡咒使九十九婇女一時腰曲,故有此名。續高僧傳作鞬拏究撥闍。翻為耳出城。玄奘渡天時,吠奢種曷利沙伐彈那 Harṣavardhana,王君臨此地。即有名之戒日王也。
