The Matsyadeśa, when independent, seems to have had the monarchical constitution. It was probably annexed at one time by the neighbouring kingdom of Cedi and finally absorbed into the Magadhan empire (Raychaudhuri, *Political History of Ancient India*, 5th ed., pp. 66ff.; V. A. Smith, *Early History of India*, 4th ed., p. 413; R. D. Banerjee, *Bāngālār Itihāsa*, p. 158). For the modern history, vide *Imperial Gazetteers of India*, Vol. XIII, 382ff. See also *Vairāṭa*.
