कन्यकुब्ज/ कन्य--कुब्ज n. ( f( आ). L. ) , N. of an ancient city of great note (in the north-western provinces of India , situated on the काली नदी, a branch of the गङ्गा, in the modern district of Farrukhabad ; the popular spelling of the name presents , perhaps , greater variations than that of any place in India [ e.g. Kanauj , Kunnoj , Kunnouj , Kinoge , Kinnoge , Kinnauj , Kanoj , Kannauj , Kunowj , Canowj Canoje , Canauj , etc. ] ; in antiquity this city ranks next to अयोध्याin Oude ; it is known in classical geography as Canogyza ; but the name applies also to its dependencies and the surrounding district ; the current etymology [ कन्या, " a girl " , shortened to कन्य, and कुब्ज, " round-shouldered or crooked "] refers to a legend in R. i , 32 , 11 ff. , relating to the hundred daughters of कुशनाभ, the king of this city , who were all rendered crooked by वायुfor non-compliance with his licentious desires ; the ruins of the ancient city are said to occupy a site larger than that of London) MBh. Katha1s. etc.
