Mahăsilākamtaa (Mahāśilākantaka) A battle that took place between Koniya the Vajji-Videha-putta and king Cedaga. The federation of nine Mallais and nine Lecchais (and) the eighteen confederate kings of Kasi and Kosala helped Cedaga. Titthayara Mahāvīra had knowledge of this battle. Koniya emerged as the conqueror while Cedaga along with the chiefs forming the federation, was defeated. Eignty-four lakhs of people were killed in this battle. Sticks, rods and stones that were hurled from the side of Koniya hit the enemy like pricking thorns. Therefore, the battle is called Mahāsilākamtaa. 1.
