Answer 2

The Janapadas (pronounced [dʒənəpəd̪ə]) were the realms, republics (ganapada) and kingdoms (saamarajya) of the Vedic period on the Indian subcontinent. The Vedic period reaches from the late Bronze Age into the Iron Age: from about 1500 BCE to the 6th century BCE.

The vedic literature describes the nine janapadas besides such people as the Andhras, Pulindas, Sabaras and Pundaras. However, by the time of sixth century B.C. Panini mentions as many as 22 different janapadas out of which Magadha, Avanti, Kosala and Vatsa were considered very important.
