Assaka, Mahajanapadas

Posted on

The Assaka lived on the bank of the river Godavari near modern Paithan in Mahabharata. Paithan has been identified with ancient Pratishthana, the capital of the Assaka. The Kaksina Patha or the southern route is supposed to have connected Pratishthana with the cities of the north. Our information about this region is quite meager because of vague references to the kings of the Assakas. Probably, with passage of time, the territory of Assakas became commercially important.
