Tribes in Ancient India c77.86

Language: English

c77.86

The *Vāyupurāṇa* reads Taṅganas (XLV, 120) and more than once in the *Mahābhārata*⁵ we find reference to Taṅganas and Para-taṅganas. The Epic description shows that they were allied with the Kirātas and Pulindas.⁶ From the description given in the *Mahābhārata* it appears that they were a rude tribe, for their main fighting weapon was stone.⁷
