Mudgarka may have been a janapada coinciding with the north-eastern spurs of the Rajmahal Hills, i.e., approximately the eastern Santal Parganas, southern Monghyr and Bhagalpur districts of Bihar. It appears to be associated with the Mudgagiri hills of Monghyr. Antargiri and Bahirgiri janapadas appear to have been located on the plateau proper. The former occupied the hilly country between the Rajmahal and Hazaribagh ranges and the latter the region beyond the Hazaribagh range, i.e. the basin of the Damodar. Both the janapadas essentially belonged to the Hills.
