Comment :
The Gandhara janapada was located in north-western India, in an area stretching from Kabul in Afghanistan, through much of Pakistani and Indian Punjab. Its capital was the great city of Taxila, renowned for its size and its great university. Gandhara was listed as one of the sixteen mahajanapadas in the Buddhist text Anguttara Nikaya. This quarter denomination of Gandhara is difficult to find. Extremely Rare.
