When the Sunga power waned, the Kshatriya tribes of the Punjab, Haryana and northern Rajasthan who were living between the Ravi and the Jumna became independent and set up Republics. Panini describes them as professional warriors. Of these, Yaudheyas inhabited the country between the Sutlej and the Jumna, and the Arjunayanas lived south-west of Mathura. These tribes were the ancestors of the Rajputs.
