The Bṛhatsaṃhitā places the Yaudheyas along with the Arjunāyanas in the northern division of India. They may have been connected with the Pandonnoi or Pāṇḍava tribe mentioned by Ptolemy as settled in the Punjab (Ind. Ant., XIII, 331, 349). Yaudheya appears as the name of a son of Yudhiṣṭhira in the Mahābhārata (Ādi Parva, Ch. 95, 76).²
