Dear all,

I am translating this sentence from Jataka:

Te Bārāṇasito pañcahi sakaṭasatehi bhaṇḍaṃ ādāya janapadaṃ gantvā vaṇijjaṃ katvā laddha-lābhā puna Bārāṇasiṃ āgamiṃsu

Which grammar type of Bārāṇasito?  From the context, I may be the ablative case, if that, it should be bārāṇasiyā.  Is there any explanation for this varied?

Sincerely yours,

Huynh Trong Khanh
