Korabya untranslated

Korabya, Koravya, Korabba. Perhaps the generic name given to the king of the Kurūs (cf. Brahmadatta). Once in the Jātakas Koravya is given as the name of the king of Indapatta in the Kuru country, this king being the father of Sutasoma (Ja.v.457). Elsewhere Koravya appears as a title of Dhanañjaya, king of the Kurūs (Ja.ii.368; iii.400, 402; v.59, 61, 65; vi.256, 268, 273). Koravya may also have been used as an adjective, for we find it explained as Kururaṭṭha-vāsika (e.g., Ja.vi.273). The Koravya king probably belonged to the Yudhiṭṭhila gotta (See Ja.iv.361). The Aṅguttaranikāya (iii.369f) mentions a king Koravya who owned a large banyan tree named Suppatiṭṭha. According to the Raṭṭhapālasutta, in the Buddha’s day, too, the ruler of Kuru was called Koravyarājā, and he owned a park which seems to have been called Migācīra (q.v.) (MN.ii.65; see also Thag.776.ff; Thag­a.ii.34; for details see Raṭṭhapāla). This king was evidently interested in religious discussion. Thullakoṭṭhika was his capital. The Avadānaśataka speaks of a Kauravya of Thullakoṭṭhika (i.67; ii.118; see also Cambridge History of India, i.121, which refers to a half-mythical Pañcāla king, Kraivya).
