The Cambridge History of India, Vol. I: Ancient India v1.c24.42

v1.c24.42

After the great war detailed dynastic tables continue to be given in the case of three royal lines only—the Pūrus, the Ikshvākus, and the kings of Magadha. Other kingdoms are mentioned summarily with a bare statement of the number of contemporary reigns. The Purāṇic history is thus, professedly though not actually (pp. 311, 318), confined in its later stages to the regions now represented by the United Provinces and S. Bihār.
