2. Ancient History:
V. S. Agrawala writes that Ashtadhyayi of Panini mentions janapada Usinara (उशीनर) (IV.2.118) - Panini mentions Ushinara as part of Vatika. Panini mentions three divisions of Vahika Country, viz Kekaya, Usinara and Madra. The fourth division to be added to Vahika country is Śavasa. Of these Kekaya and Śavasa may be located between Jhelum and Chenab, the first in the south and second in the north respectively; Madra and Ushinara between the Chenab and Ravi River in the north and south respectively.
The Divyadana refers to the Shvasas in Uttarapatha with headquarters at Takshasila to which Ashoka was deputed by his father Bindusara as Viceroy to quell their rebellion. The name of Savasa or Shvasa seems to be preserved in the modern name Chhiba, comprising Punchh, Rajauri and Bhimbhara. In literature, Ushinaras are often associated with the Śibis greek - Siboi whose chief town Śibipura has been identified with Shorkot in Jhang district.
V. S. Agrawala writes that Panini mentions Pura IV.2.122 ending names of towns like Arishṭapura Pali: Ariṭṭapura, a city in the kingdom of Shivi in Vahika. V. K. Mathur tells us the location of Shivirashtra the kingdom of king Shivi at Shorkot in Jhang district of Pakistan.
Prof. B.S. Dhillon writes that the ancient city of Sibipura or Shivipura which means the city of Shivi is today called "Shorkot" and is located in the Jhang district of Punjab, Pakistan. As per Diodorus, Arrian and Strabo, the area surrounding Sibipura was occupied by a people called Sibi, during the time of Alexander's invasion of Punjab.
Professor Eggermont said, J. Ph. Vogel showed that the mound of Shorkot Jhang district, between Chenab, Indus, and Ravi rivers represents the site of Sibipura, the town Pura of the Sibis, which is mentioned in a Shorkot inscription. Even today Sibi or Sibia is a well known Jat clan in Punjab. The word "Pura" in Sanskrit means city
