Ahirwada
The Abhiras (modern day Ahirs) are often mentioned in Ksatrapa inscriptions of Saurashtra. The Puranas and the Brihatsamhita place the Abhiras in the southern region during the Samudragupta. These tribes slowly spread out in different parts of India. They may have occupied Ahirwada in Madhya Pradesh at a late date. We know of their occupation in Rajasthan also at a late date as is evident from the Jodhpur inscription of samwat 918, that the Abhira people of this area were a terror to their neighbours, because of their violent demeanour.
