Sayāṇīa (सयाणी�) is the name of an ancient king of Kauśāmbī, as mentioned in the վ󲹳īٳ󲹰첹貹 by Jinaprabhasūri (13th century A.D.): an ancient text devoted to various Jaina holy places (īٳ󲹲).—Accordingly, “King Pajjoa, fallen in love with Miyāvaī wife of Sayāṇīa, king of Kauśāmbī, attacks the city. Out of fear, Sayāṇīa died of colic. Miyāvaī uses cunning: she invokes the weakness of her son and the distance at which Pajjoa, his supposed protector, is located: the poison has time to kill if the doctor is far away, she tells him. He therefore agreed to fortify the city. For the comparison of textual details, cf. translation�.
