Hearing Kuśa's words, those four foremost of men and best of sons addressed themselves to founding seats for their government. And the highly energetic Kuśāmba founded the city of Kausambi; and the righteous Kusanabha, the metropolis of Mahodaya; and the magnanimous Asūrtarajas, Dharmāraṇya; and king Vasu, Girivraja, best of capitals.
कुशाम्बस्तु महातेजाः कुशस्य वचनं श्रुत्वा चत्वारो लोकसत्तमाः। निवेशं चक्रिरे सर्वे पुराणां नृवरास्तदा ॥ कौशाम्बीमकरोत् पुरीम्। कुशनाभस्तु धर्मात्मा पुरं चक्रे महोदयम्॥ असूर्तरजसो नाम धर्मारण्यं महामतिः। चक्रे पुरवरं राजा वसुनाम गिरिव्रजम्॥
