In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesA township where Yasa Kakandakaputta met Soreyya Revata, whom he wished to consult regarding the Ten Points raised by the Vajjiputtakas. Revata had gone there from Soreyya, and Yasa followed him, passing through Sankassa, Kannakujja, Udumbara and Aggalapura. Sahajati was on the river (Ganges?), and the Vajjiputtakas went there from Vesali by boat. Vin.ii.299f., 301; Mhv.iv.23 8
In the Anguttara Nikaya (A.iii.355; v.41, 157), Sahajati is described as a nigama of the Cetis, and Maha Cunda is mentioned as having stayed there and preached three sermons.
According to the Samyutta, Gavampati also lived there at one time. S.v.436; the text says Sahancanika, but for a correct reading see KS.v.369, n.3.

Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
India history and geography
Source: Ancient Buddhist Texts: Geography of Early BuddhismSahajāti (सहजाति) was an important town of ancient Cedi: one of the sixteen Mahājanapadas of the Majjhimadesa (Middle Country) of ancient India, as recorded in the Pāli Buddhist texts (detailing the geography of ancient India as it was known in to Early Buddhism).—The ancient Cedi country lay near the Jumna and was contiguous to that of the Kurus. It corresponds roughly to modern Bundelkhand and the adjoining region. We are told by the Cetiya Jātaka (No. 422) that the capital city of the Cedi country was Sotthivati-nagara which is most probably identical with the city of Śuktimati or Śuktisāhvaya of the Mahābhārata. Other important towns of the Cedi kingdom include Sahajāti and Tripurī, the mediaeval capital of Tripurivishaya or Cedi.
Cetiraṭṭha was an important centre of Buddhism. In the Aṅguttara Nikāya we find that Mahācuṇḍa while dwelling in the town of Sahajāti among the Cedis delivered many discourses. The same Nikāya also tells us that Anuruddha while dwelling among the Cedis in the Deer Park of Pācīnavaṃsa won Arahatship.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
