Ossadioi.—According to some scholars like St. Martin, the Ossadioi were probably identical with the Vaśāti mentioned in the *Mahābhārata* as being associated with the Śivis and the Sindhu-Sauvīras (*Mahābhārata*, VII, 19, 11; 89, 37; VIII, 44, 49; VI, 106, 8; 51, 14). The exact geographical position of this tribe cannot be ascertained (Law, *Indological Studies*, Pt. I, pp. 33-4).
