Kamboi  Kamboi Kingdom is a town located in Chanasma taluka, in Patan district, in the modern Indian state of Gujarat. It is west of Chanasma on the Harij-Mehsana road. It uses the postcode number of 384230. Historian R. C. Majumdar describes Kamboi as being about west of Anahilwara Patan. It was the site of a decisive victory in 1392 over Farhat-ul-Mulk by Zaffar Khan, who later founded the Muzaffarid dynasty. Kamboika is stated to have been evolved from the Pali "Kambojaka" or "Kambojika" as follows:  Kambojika == > Kamboyika == > Kamboika since hard palatal j is known to change to soft y in Indo-Aryan languages and further "yi" == > "i". The change of palatal "j" to soft "y" is not unusual. The Shabazgarhi Inscriptions of king Ashoka also write Kamboja as Kamboya where j is replaced with y.) To give a few more illustrations, the terms SamJogita, SamaJa, Jajman, Jadu, Jogi and GaJni etc. are also found written as SamYokita, SamaYa Yajman Yadu, Yogi and GaYni where also the j has become soft y. And lastly, the "penultimate" letter k being sandwiched between two vowels gets eliminated in ancient Indo-Aryan languages following a documented procedure as noted by ancient Prakritic Grammarians. According to third century Prakritic grammarian Acharya Varuchi, the consonants k, g, ch, j, t, d, p etc. falling between two vowel sounds usually get elited. Hence KamboiKa == > Kamboi  Thus, the 15th-century records refer to this town as Kamboi. The Kamboi town has an old Jain tirtha ("pilgrim place") at its centre. The moolnayak of this temple is a white-coloured idol of Bhagawan Manamohan Parshvanath in the Padmasana posture. The idol dates back to King Samprati’s period (224 – 215 BCE). Other idols in the temple have inscriptions dating back to the 16th century.
