Anūpa was on the Narmadā with the city of Māhiṣmati (modern Māndhātā in the Nimār District, M. P.) as its capital. The Haihaya king Arjuna, son of Kṛtavīrya, ruled at Māhiṣmati. Like the Bhojas, Vītihotras and Avantis mentioned in the Section, the Tuṇḍikeras were a branch of the Haihayas. According to the Purāṇas (Mts, 43, 48-49; Vy, 94, 51-52; Bmh, 13, 203-04; Pdm, Sṛṣṭi-khaṇḍa, 12, 35-36; Hv, I, 33, 51-52), the Haihayas were subdivided into five clans, viz., Vītihotra (wrongly called वीरहोत्र in some texts), Bhoja, Avanti, Tuṇḍikera (called कुण्डिकर, तौण्डिकर and तुण्डकेर in some texts) and तालजंघ. Pargiter (*AIHT*, p. 98, etc.) refers to the name of the Haihaya clan श्याति read in some texts as सुरताः, सब्जाताः, असंख्याताः, सुजाताः, etc. The Haihayas were themselves a branch of the Yādavas.
