羯若鞠闍 [jie ruo ju du]—Kanyakubja, 'hump-backed maidens.' An ancient city and kingdom of Central India. In antiquity this city ranks next to Ayodhyā in Oudh. It is known to classical geography as Canogyza. The etymology refers to the legend of the hundred daughters of Kuśanābha its king, who refused the licentious desires of Vāyu (Mahāvṛkṣa 大樹仙 [da shu xian]) and were turned by him into hunchbacks. M.W. Eitel says 'the modem Canouge'.

羯若鞠闍 [jie ruo ju du]—Kanyākubja—[Place Name] (地名 [de ming]), a country name (國名 [guo ming]). It is translated as the Country of the City of Hunchbacked Maidens (曲女城國 [qu nu cheng guo]). Located in Central India (中印度 [zhong yin du]). The country spans over 4,000 li in circumference. Its grand capital city, named Kanyakubja City (曲女城 [qu nu cheng]), is situated on the western Ganges River, measuring over 20 li in length and 4-5 li in width. When Xuanzang (玄奘 [xuan zang]) traveled to India, King Harsha (戒日王 [jie ri wang]) held the Grand Assembly (無遮大會 [wu zhe da hui]) here. Volume 4 of the Records of the Western Regions (西域記 [xi yu ji]) states: "The country of Kanyākubja (國 [guo]), in Tang Chinese, is called the Country of the City of Hunchbacked Maidens (曲女城國 [qu nu cheng guo]), located within Central India (中印度境 [zhong yin du jing])."
