पुराणम्

English

अन्ध्र / ANDHRA (āndhra). This is the andhra Pradesh in modern india. It has to be surmised that this place was very famous during the period of the composition of the mahābhārata. (M.B.,  bhīṣma parva,  Chapter 9,  Verse 49).

अन्ध्र / ANDHRA. Warriors from andhra were called Andhras. (M.B.,  droṇa parva,  Chapter 4,  Verse 8).

Vedic Reference

English

 Andhra is the name of a people,  and is mentioned with the
Puṇḍras,  Śabaras,  Pulindas,  and Mūtibas,  as being the outcasts
resulting from the refusal of the fifty eldest sons of Viśvāmitra
to accept his adoption of Śunaḥśepa.^1 It may fairly be deduced
from this statement that these people were recognized as non-
Aryan,  as the Andhras certainly seem to have been.^2
1) Aitareya Brāhmaṇa,  vii. 18
 Śāṅkh-
āyana Śrauta Sūtra,  xv. 26,  where
instead of udāntyaḥ (‘beyond the
borders’) the reading is udañcaḥ (‘nor-
thern’),  but the former is obviously
correct. The Sāṅkhāyana omits the
Pulindas,  and has Mūcīpas.
2) Vincent Smith,  Zeitschrift der Deut-
schen Morgenländischen Gesellschaft,  56, 
657 et seq.,  who places them originally
in Eastern India between the Kṛṣṇā
and Godāvarī rivers
