High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Andhra in Indian epic literature was a kingdom mentioned in the epic Mahabharata, ruled by non-Vedic kings. It was a southern kingdom. Other related kingdoms mentioned often together with Andhra are Pandya, Dravida, Odhra and Kalinga. The state Andhra Pradesh got its name from this kingdom. Andhra Tribes are also mentioned in the Vayu and Matsya Purana. In the Mahabharata the infantry of Satyaki was composed of a tribe called Andhras, known for their long hair, sweet language, and mighty prowess. They lived along the banks of the Yamuna river. Andhras and Kalingas supported the Kauravas during the Mahabharata war. Sahadeva defeated the kingdoms of Pandya, Dravida, Odra, Chera, Andhra, and Kalinga while performing the Rajasuya yajna. Chanoora was killed by Krishna in Mathura. Hari Vamsa Purana corroborates the fact that Chanoora was the king of Karoosa Desha (to the North of the Vindhyas and on the North Bank of the Yamuna river) and was an Andhra. Buddhist references to Andhras are also found. The Andhras were nomads for several centuries. Some tribes migrated and others did not and remained in their older settlements.
