*Pārada*.—The country of the Pāradas, according to some, may be located in the Deccan but Pargiter places it in the north-west (*A.I.H.T.*, pp. 206, 268 and f.n.). The Pāradas seem to have been a barbarous tribe (*Mahābhārata*, Sabhāparva, L. 1832; LI, 1869; Droṇaparva, CXXI, 4819). According to the *Harivaṃśa* (XIII, 763-4) king Sagara degraded them. For further details, vide B. C. Law, *Tribes in Ancient India*, pp. 364-65; B. C. Law, *Indological Studies*, Pt. I, p. 48.
