We believe that the Moriyas were not the descendants but the contemporaries of the Sakyas. They appear to have ceased to be a political force soon after the death of the Buddha. They were probably defeated by Ajātasattu after he had subdued the Vajjis and their territory became part of the expanding empire of Magadha.
