Kamboja and Kapiśa are believed to be two attempts to render the same foreign word (which could not appropriately be transliterated into Sanskrit). Dr. S. Levi holds that Persian Kambujiya or Kau(n)bojiya, Sanskrit Kamboja as well as Kapiśa, all etymologically refer to the same foreign word. The evidence from third century Buddhist tantra text Mahamayuri, which uses Kabusha for Kapisha, and the Ramayana-manjri by Sanskrit Acharya, Kshmendra of Kashmir (11th century), which specifically equates Kapiśa with Kamboja, thus substituting the former with the latter, sufficiently attest that Kapiśa and Kamboja are the same. According to the Indian history series: History and Culture of Indian People, Kapisa and Kamboja are the same. Scholars such as Dr. Moti Chandra and Dr. Krishna Chandra Mishra also write that the Karpasika (of Mahabharata) and Kapisa (Ki-pin/Ka-pin/Chi-pin of the Chinese writings) are synonymous terms. Both Karpasika and Kapiśa are essentially equivalent to Sanskrit Kamboja. The Paninian term Kapiśi is believed to have been the capital of ancient Kamboja. Kapiśa (Ki-pin, Ke-pin, Ka-pin, Chi-pin of the Chinese records) refers to the Kamboja kingdom, located on the south-eastern side of the Hindukush in the Paropamisadae region. It was anciently inhabited by the Aśvakayana (Greek: Assakenoi), and the Aśvayana (Greek Aspasio) (q.v.) sub-tribes of the Kambojas. Epic Mahabharata refers to two Kamboja settlements: one called Kamboja, adjacent to the Daradas (of Gilgit), extending from Kafiristan to south-east Kashmir including Rajauri/Poonch districts, while the original Kamboja, known as Parama Kamboja, was located north of Hindukush in Transoxiana territory, mainly in Badakshan and Pamirs/Allai valley, as neighbors to the Rishikas in the Scythian land. Ptolemy refers to two Kamboja territories/and or ethnics - viz.: Tambyzoi, located north of Hindukush on Oxus in Bactria/Badakshan, and Ambautai, located on the southern side of Hindukush in Paropamisadae. The Komoi clan of Ptolemy, inhabiting towards Sogdiana mountainous regions north of Bactria, is believed by scholars to represent the Kamboja people. Front ranking scholars like Dr. S. Levi, Dr Michael Witzel, and numerous others accept the identity of Tambyzoi and Ambautai with Sanskrit Kamboja. The Ptolemian Ambautai formed parts of the Kapiśa kingdom under sway of Aśvakayana/Aśvayana (Aśvaka) Kambojas. It appears probable that the original home of the Kambojas was trans-Oxian Kamboja, from where some tribal sections moved southwards and established colonies in Paropamisan on southern side of Hindukush. Over time, the Paropamisan settlements came to be addressed as Kamboja proper, whereas the original Kamboja settlement lying north of Hindukush in Transoxiana became known as 'Parama-Kamboja', or furthest Kamboja. Some scholars call Parama Kamboja 'Uttara-Kamboja', or northern Kamboja or Distant Kamboja. The Kapisa-Kamboja equivalence, as suggested by scholars such as Dr. Levi, applies to the Paropamisan Kamboja settlement."@en }
