The Kingdom of Kashi was foremost among the Janapadas of the Middle Ganga valley during the early 600 BC, soon they lost their dominance to the Kosala in the north. Both Kashi and Kosala were situated higher up the valley than Magadha, the kingdom that soon had incorporated both of them. About 525 BC the king of Kosala occupied the major portion of Kashi, the remaining territory of Kashi passing to King Bimbisara of Magadha.
