c7.7

This extensive literature which falls roughly between 1000 B.C. and 700 B.C. belongs not merely to the valley of the Indus but also to that of the Ganges which the Âryans had penetrated in the meanwhile. The chief peoples of this period are the Kurus, Pañcâlas, Śibis, Matsyas, Vaitahavyas, Kośalas, Videhas, Kâśis, Kekâṭas, Vidarbhas and Aṅgas. The Śriñjayas were closely related to the Kurus. Near the Uttara Kurus were the Uttara Madras.²
