Tribes in Ancient India c77.60

Language: English

c77.60

The name Tuṣṭikāras seems to be a misreading. The *Vāyupurāṇa* reads Tuṇḍikeras (XLV, 134) which is supported by the *Mahābhārata*³ and the *Harivaṃśa* (XXXIV, 1895). According to the *Harivaṃśa* they belonged to the Haihaya race (*ibid.*). The tribe seems to have left their trace in the little town of Tendukhera, a little to the north of the source of the Narmadā.⁴ Sauṇḍikeras, which is the reading of the *Matsyapurāṇa*, is incorrect.
