Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Vajji was mentioned in the Buddhist and Jain texts' lists of the Sixteen Mahajanapadas. The Vajji region is found in the Bihar state to the north of the Ganges River and stretches to the Madhesh region of Nepal. The Gandaki River is a dividing line between Vajji and The Malla Mahajanapada on the western side, separating them from Kosala. Eight Clans made up the coalition that ruled Vajji, with the Vajjis, Licchavis, Kshatrikas, and Videhas being the most significant. The capital of Vajji Mahajanapada, Vaishali, was governed by the Gana or sangha system. There were numerous rulers inside a gana or sangha. Every man was recognized as a raja, even when thousands of them reigned at once. Together, these rajas participated in rituals. Additionally, they convened in assemblies to discuss and argue on daily political affairs.
