Tribes in Ancient India c68.2

Language: English

c68.2

The Audumbaras seem to have been a minor oligarchical or republican tribe. They are mentioned in the *Sabhāparvan* of the *Mahābhārata* (II, 1869), where they are located in the Madhyadeśa (midland district). The *Harivaṃśa* refers to certain ascetics, descendants of Viśvāmitra, as Audumbaras, but it is difficult to determine their exact relation with the tribe of the *Sabhāparvan*.
