Kamboja

From Sanskrit कम्बोज~काम्बोज (kamboja~kāmboja), but unclear. The word is supposed by some scholars to be related to Kambujiya, although "there are also scholars who denounce a connection between Kamboja and Kambujiya [...] and who defend another etymology".^[1] Compare Cambodia, Kampuchea, Kambuja, Kamboj and Kamboja.

Kamboja

1. An ancient Indo-Iranian region, located originally in Central Asia.
   • 1995, Narendra K Wagle, Society at the time of the Buddha, page 35:

     Denying this claim, the Buddha tells Assalayana how in Yona and Kamboja and other outlying regions there are two vannas, the master and the slave, and that it is possible for a master to become a slave or for a slave to become a master.

Kamboja (plural Kambojas or Kamboja)

1. A member of an Indo-Aryan and Indo-Iranian people from this region.
   • 2010 May 19, Barbara A. West, Encyclopedia of the Peoples of Asia and Oceania, Infobase Publishing, →ISBN, page 359:

     Some Kshatriya Tribes of Ancient India, B C Law, 124, P. 230-31 "... in a list of ancient Vedic teachers given in the Vamsa Brahmana of the Samveda..we find one of the teachers in the line to be Kamboja Aupamanyava, that is, Kamboja, the son of Upamanyu....the fact stands out without any possible doubt that a sage from among the Kamboja people, had found a place in the list of the great ancient teachers by whom the Vedic lore was kept up and handed on, and there is no room for any hesitation in saying that the Kambojas in Vedic times formed an important section of the Vedic Indian people.
