The geographical name Madhyadeśa is post-Vedic; but the *Aitareya Brāhmaṇa*53 indicates the same name by the expression *dhruvā madhyamā pratiṣṭhā diś*, ‘the firmly established Middle Region’, and the Kurus (probably of the tract comprising the Ambala, Delhi and Meerut regions), the Pañcālas (probably of the region comprising the Bareilly and Farrukhabad areas), the Vaśas and the Uśīnaras
