Textual evidence suggests Suktimati was the capital of the ancient 'Chedi Janapada'. It was located on the banks of a river of the same name. Its exact location is not identified but it might be close to the modern day city of Rewa. The coinage of Suktimati shows distinct similarity with that of Kausambi.
