Vatsa Janapada is located in Prayagraj (Allahabad) in the present day, and the capital was Kaushambi which can be identified at the ruins of Kosam-thirty-eight miles from Allahabad above the Yamuna River. The Kingdom of Kalinga focused on the lower Mahanadi valley and adjacent Deccan coastland. Part of Kalinga appears to have been temporarily occupied by the Nanda kings of Magadha but the definitive Mauryan occupation of Kalinga was an achievement of Ashoka and his conquest to Kalinga has been dated to about 260 BC.

A very interesting specimen of Vatsa Janapda overstruck on the Kalinga Janapada, This specimen&nbsp;indicates politico-economic links between the two Janapadas?, an attractive example with clear symbols visible of both the Janapadas.
