Answer:
The textual source of the mahajanapadas comes from mainly the Buddhist and Jaina literature, as also the Puranas. However, the description of the sixteen mahajanapadas given in the Abhidamba pitaka, which is one of the three tripitika buddhist texts in pali, is considered as most authentic and complete.
