KĀMBOJA I Sudakṣiṇa, the King of the country, Kāmboja. He was present at Draupadī's svayaṁvara. In [Mahābhārata, Karṇa Parva, Chapter 156] we read that his younger brother was killed by Arjuna. The Kings of Kāmboja were all known as Kāmbojas. Long ago, this country was ruled by a King named Kāmboja. In [Mahābhārata, Śānti Parva, Chapter 166, Verse 77] , we see that this Kāmboja was given a sword by the King Dhundhumāra. Perhaps it was from this King Kāmboja that the country came to be called ‘Kāmboja’.
