Answer:

The Mahajanapadas were a set of sixteen kingdoms that existed in ancient India. It all began when the tribes (janas) of the late Vedic period decided to form their own territorial communities, which eventually gave rise to new and permanent areas of settlements called 'states' or 'janapadas.'

Mahajanapadas is the word derived from Sanskrit that has a meaning of “Great Kingdoms” (Maha means “great” and janapadas means “foothold of a tribe”). Prior to the rise of Buddhism in India, 16 great powers and republics thrived in the north-western/northern parts of India.
