to ill the llari-Vamsa (xiii. 760-61); but there is nothing to identify them. IIP Mats} a Purana roads Andhakas (cxiii. 36). The Andhakas were n bordinate family of the Yadava race, and are often mentioned in the.-Bh {eii IJ(lyoga-P. Ixxxv. 301), and Hari-Vamsa (xxxv. 1907-8; and:\i\. 2011; andxoiv. 5190-5201), but they dwelt in Su-rashtra in the Pbtand a])poar to bo out of place here. The most probable reading seems be the Piajas, the people of Vraja (or Vriji, as it was also called), p modern Braj, the country north-west of Mathura or Muttra, t This is a short list. Besides these the Vayu Purana has two lines at the ginning of tliis group, viz., "the Kurus, the Pancalas, and the S'illvas, and the ngalas tlio S'urascnas, the Bhadrakaras, the Bodhas and the lords of S'ata- iha" (\lv. 100 and 110); much like a passage in the M.-Bh. (Blu'shina-P., 316-7). The jMatsya has the same linos, but gives the last two names as i/ivuiand Pa^ac'c'ayns (cxiii. 35, 36). For the Kurus, see canto Iviii, verso 9; r the Pancalas, canto Iviii. verso 8; for the S alvas, canto Iviii. verso 6; the ngaliis arc no doubt the people of Kuru-jangala, see note to Kuru, canto in verse 0 j for tho S'urasonas, see canto Iviii. verso 7. The Bhadrakaras inc as tlie Bhadras mentioned in Vana-P. ccliii. 15266; they appear from 58e passages to have been situated on tho west bank of tho Jumna, somo- icre between Delhi and Muttra. The Bodhas are mentioned in tho M.-Bh. ibha-p., xin 590 j Bhishma-P., ix. 347) and aro probably the same as sKodhis (Ramay., Ayodh-K. Ixx 15), who appear to have been situated die eastern coahiies of the Panjab. I have no met Bdhyas elsewhere; l^ems ei ronoous. S'ata-patha seems to be erroneous, and Patac'c'ara is much Iho Patac'c'aras are mentioned in tho M-Bh. (Sabha-P. xiii. 690-1 •
