No more precise date is obtainable at present.
The decline of the Maurya empire was marked also by the rapid growth of the Andhra kingdom in Southern India. Originally a Dravidian people living immediately to the south of the Kalirigas in that part of the Madras Presidency which lies between the rivers Godavari and Kistna, the INDIA AFTER THE MAURYA EMPIRE 1 17 Andhras had become, probably about 200 b.c, a great power whose territories included the whole of the Deccan and extended to the wester
...n coast.
They are mentioned in the edicts in a manner which seems to indicate that they acknowledged the suzerainty of A9oka, but that they were never conquered and brought under the direct government of a viceroy of the empire like their neighbours the Kalingas. They would seem to have asserted their independence soon after the death of A9oka. Some outline of their history may be traced by the aid of in- scriptions, coins, and literary sources from prob- ably about 220 B.C. to 240 A.D. The names of a succession of thirty kings are preserved in the Puranas, together with the length of each reign, and the total duration of the dynasty which is given either as 456 or as 460 years.
