c7.57

The dominion of Southern India was nearly equally divided between the nine rulers of the following states :—Mahârâshtra and Kosala, in the north; Kalinga, Andhra, Konkana, and Dhanakata, in the centre; and Jorya, Drâvida, and Mâlakuta, in the south. These complete the round number of eighty kingdoms into which India was divided in the seventh century of our era.
