Q25. What qualities of Vajjis were described by Buddhaas the reason of its prosperity?
Answers
Explanation:
Vajji (Sanskrit: Vṛji) or Vrijji was a confederacy of neighbouring clans including the Licchavis and one of the principal mahājanapadas of Ancient India. The area they ruled constitutes the region of Mithila in northern Bihar and their capital was the city of Vaishali.
Both the Buddhist text Aṅguttara Nikāya and the Jaina text Bhagavati Sūtra (Saya xv Uddesa I) included Vajji in their lists of solasa (sixteen) mahājanapadas.The name of this mahājanapada was derived from one of its ruling clans, the Vṛjis. The Vajji state is indicated to have been a republic. This clan is mentioned by Pāṇini, Chanakya and Xuanzang.In Xuanzang's record, two clans were linked with Vajji/Mithila by 646: Vaishali and Vrijji. Vaishali was both Buddhist and Hindu while Vrijji was predominantly Hindu and the capital of it Zhanshuna (possibly "Cemśoṇa/Cansuna" at Baliraajgadh
