YOUR ANSWER IS
A Mahājanapada (Sanskrit: महाजनपद, lit. 'great realm', from maha, "great", and janapada"foothold of a tribe, country") was one of the sixteen kingdoms or oligarchic republics that existed in ancient India from the sixth to fourth centuries BCE. Two of them were most probably 'ganas' or republics — and others had forms of monarchy. Ancient Buddhist texts like the Anguttara Nikaya make frequent reference to sixteen great kingdoms and republics which had evolved and flourished in a belt stretching from Gandharain the northwest to Anga in the eastern part of the Indian subcontinent and included parts of the trans-Vindhyan region, prior to the rise of Buddhism in India.
The Janapadas (pronounced [dʒənəpəd̪ə]) were the realms, republics (GanaPada) and kingdoms (SaamaRajya) of the Vedic periodon the Indian subcontinent — late Bronze Ageinto the Iron Age — from about 1500 BCE to the 6th century BCE. Concluding with the rise of sixteen Mahajanapadas ("great janapadas"), most of the states were later annexed by more powerful neighbours, whilst others remained independent.

The Janapadaswere the major realms republics or kingdoms of Vedic (Iron Age) India from about 1200 BC to the 6th century BC, which were then divided into the sixteen classical Mahajanapadas.
Mahājanapada literally "great realm" from maha, "great", and Janapada "foothold of a tribe", "country") refers to one of the sixteen kingdoms and oligarchic republics that existed in Ancient India from the sixth to fourth centuries BCE
