Vikas Publishing House Pvt. Lid. Delhi 1973. Mr. Chandra makes
the following interesting observation:
"The wide prevalence of prostitution [during the Buddhist Age of
Indian History] may be seen from the use in Buddhist texts of a
large number of synonyms indicating prostitutes and courtezans.
Mehta has culled the following words from the Jatakas- vesi,
nariya, gamaniya, ganika, nagarasobhari, vannadasi and kunthadasi."
