The Mālavas occupied part of the Pañjāb in the time of Alexander. They were probably in Eastern Rājaputāna² when they came into conflict with Ushavadāta. Their exact location in the time of Samudra Gupta cannot be determined. In the time of Samudra Gupta's successors they were probably connected with the Mandasor region. We find princes of Mandasor using the reckoning, commencing B.C. 58, handed down traditionally by the *Mālava-gaṇa* (*Mālava-gaṇ-āmnāta*).
