The above statements suggest that the region occupied by these tribes was (1) somewhere south of the Yamunā (2) to its south-west between Mathurā and Dvārakā (3) along one of the established routes towards Gujarat and (4) to which there was easy access for movement or migration from the western bank of the Yamunā. This brings us to the obvious conclusion that all these tribes occupied the basin of the Chambal, the stronger occupying the fertile river valleys and the weaker being pushed to the piedmont margins of the basin bounded by the eastern spurs of the Aravallis on the west, western Vindhyas on the south and the northern spurs of the Vindhyas which culminate in the hills of Narwar and Gwalior in the east. The latter form the watershed between the valley of the Sind on the west and that of the Betwa on the east.
