commemorate his great family tragedy. The king founded a city and named it Kanyukasba, the city of the deformed maidens and there he resided for many years. The capital founded by the tragic king has survived to the present day. It's now the principal city of the district of Farukabad, India. It's name having been reduced to the

modern Kanuaj. Believe it or not.
