The first of these references is to a war between Vidiçā and Vidarbha in which the former was victorious. As a result Vidarbha was divided into two provinces separated by the river Varadā, the modern Wardhā, which is now the boundary between Berār and the Central Provinces. It seems clear from what is known of the general history of this period that any such incursion of the Çuṅgas into this region must inevitably have brought them into collision with the Andhras, whose power had at this time extended across the Deccan from the eastern coast (p. 530). It has been assumed therefore with much probability that Yajñasena, the prince of Vidarbha in the play, must have been either an Andhra or a feudatory of the Andhras².
