Answers
Answer:
Literally Mahjanapadas means 'Great Kingdoms'. Before 'Budhism' rose in the country, these flourished in the north western parts of India. Aryans were seen migrating to the country. As per the Vedic texts these Aryan tribes were known as the Janas. Later these Vedic Janas merged with Janapadas. The Indian subcontinent was divided into the Janapadas with clear demarcated boundaries. Many of these became big political bodies. In the Budhist traditions these kingdoms came to be known as 'Mahajanapadas'.
There were sixteen of such Mahajanapadas: Kasi, Kosala, Anga, Magadha, Vajji, Malla, Chedi, Vatsa, Kuru, Panchala, Machcha, Surasena, Assaka, Avanti, Gandhara and Kamboja.
Kasi is a region settled around Varanasi. It has a predominant position among the sixteen Mahajanapadas. Matsya Purana and Alberuni talk immensely about Kasi read as Kausika and Kaushika there. Also we come to know much about Kasi from the folklores of the Jatakas.
Kosala comprises of Shravasti, Kushavati, Saket and Ayodhya. Also it constituted of the modern cities of Oudh (Awadh), Uttar Pradesh. Ayodhya was under the control of the Kosala king Prosenjit. A neighboring state was the famous Magadha.
Anga was one of the earliest of all. This was around the Gangetic plains. This state was known by various names such as Malini, Champapuri, Kala malini, Champa malini etc. it was in the Atharva Veda that the Angas were first mentioned.
Magadha was a powerful kingdom and was run by Bimbisara and Ajatshatru, his son. As per the Vedas Magadha is the 'semi Brahman' state. In the later Vedic scriptures and texts it was referred to as Kikata. Also it is popular by various names as Magadhapura, Brihadrathapura, Vasumati etc.
Vajji comprised of many different social groups and villages. It was a confederation of many clans such as the Licchavis, the Vedehans, the Jnatrikas and most importantly the Vajjis. Its capital was located at Vaishali.
