In the second period, we see the first eastward migration of Bharata Daushanti (23) into the region upto the Ganga³ from the Sarasvati. King Jahnu of the Bharatas established Kanyakubja and Kasi ( Benaras ). But both these advanced outposts were obliterated. Vishvamitra, contemporary of Sudas ( 38 ) became a Rishi. By the time of Sudas ( 38 ) Jamuna region was in the hands of a non-Aryan Bheda. Probably as a result of the victory of Sudas in the famous battle of Ten kings ( Dasa Rajna ), Yadava king named Vidarbha ( 37 ) migrated from Saptasindhu to Vidarbha and found a new kingdom. One of his sons Chidi founded Chedi.¹ Haihayas were in Saptasindhu upto Supratika ( 46 ) who was probably defeated by Sagara. Of the Haihaya sub-branches—Saryata established a kingdom at Anarta, and Avanti was established with Mahishmati as the capital. The last of the Haihayas, Punika was defeated by Chanda Pradyota who shifted the capital to ujjain. Satvatas, Kuru, Panchalas settled in the Doab and the Saurasena country.
