Parama Kamboja Kingdom
Parama Kamboja Kingdom was mentioned in the epic Mahabharata to be on the far north west along with the Bahlika, Uttara Madra and Uttara Kuru countries. It is was located in parts of modern-day Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.〔Dr Buddha Prakash maintains that, based on the evidence of Kalidasa's Raghuvamsha, Raghu defeated the Hunas on river Vamkshu (Raghu vamsha 4.68), and then he marched against the Kambojas (4.69-70). These Kambojas were of Iranian affinities who lived in Pamirs and Badakshan. Xuanzang calls this region ''Kiumito'' which is thought to be ''Komdei'' of Ptolemy and ''Kumadh'' or ''Kumedh'' of Muslim writers (See: Studies in Indian History and Civilization, Agra, p 351; India and the World, 1964, p 71, Dr Buddha Prakash; Ancient Kamboja, People and the Country, 1981, p 300, Dr J. L. Kamboj; India and Central Asia, 1955, p 35, P. C. Bagch).〕
A section of Paradas had moved to western India around Christian era and are referenced as ''Pardane'' in Ptolemy’s Geography (Dr M. R. Singh).
==Parama Kambojas in Kurukshetra War==
Drona Parava of Mahabharata refers to 6000 soldiers from the Parama Kamboja group who had sided with the Pandavas against the Kauravas in the Kurukshetra war. They have been described as ''"very handsome, very fortunate Kambojas"'' (prabhadrakastu Kambojah),〔See: Ethnography of Ancient India, 1954, p 140, ROBERT SHAFER, Publishers: O. Harrassowitz, Ethnology. Also check up "Prabhadraka" in Monier-William Dictionary ().〕 extremely fierce, 'Personification of Death' (''samanmrityo''), fearful like Yama, the god of death and rich like Kuber i.e. god of treasure (''Kambojah.... Yama. vaishravan.opamah'': 7.23.42-44).
