Pañcāladeśa continued to be one of the great and powerful countries in northern India down to the time when the Buddha lived (Aṅguttara, I, 213; IV, 252, 256 and 260; Jātaka (Cowell), VI, 202). Pañcāla and its princes figure in Jaina literature (Uttarādhyayana Sūtra, Jaina Sūtras, II, pp. 60, 61, 87, etc.). In the post-Aśokan period Pañcāla was invaded by the Greeks.
