(1) In Singhalese, Sewet; here evidently the capital of Kosala. It is

placed by Cunningham (Archaeological Survey) on the south bank of

the Rapti, about fifty-eight miles north of Ayodya or Oude. There are

still the ruins of a great town, the name being Sahet Mahat. It was in

this town, or in its neighbourhood, that Sakyamuni spent many years of

his life after he became Buddha.

(2) There were two Indian kingdoms of this name, a southern and a

northern. This was the northern, a part of the present Oudh.
