Kambojas of Yasaka's Nirukuta
Besides commenting on the Kamboja language, Yasaka in his Nirukuta(II/2), also attempts to etymologize the term Kamboja, defining it as kambal.bhoja and Kamaniya.bhoja:
The Kambojas enjoy kambala (blankets) i.e. they are Kambal.bhojas. Also the Kambojas enjoy beautiful (kamaniya) things i.e. they are 'kamaniya.bhojah'. Hence they are called Kamboja..
Numerous ancient commentators like Durga Acharya, Brahmuni Privrajika, Sikanda Swami etc. have commented on Yasaka's Nirukuta including Yasakian terms Kamaniya.bhoja and Kambal.bhoja in reference to the Kambojas. From their commentaries, we get very useful information not only on the climate & geographical location of Kamboja country but also on the food habits, dress-mode and industry/craft of ancient Kambojas. These commentaries provide powerful evidence on Kambojas' riches and the luxurious lives they lived.
