Kekaya
Kekayas or Kaikeyas ((サンスクリット:केकय)) were an ancient people attested to have been living in north-western Punjab—between Gandhara and the Beas rivers in modern Pakistan since remote antiquity. They were the descendants of the Kshatriyas of the Kekaya Janapada 〔Ashtadhyayi sutra VII.3.2.〕 hence called ''Kekayas'' or ''Kaikeyas''. The Kekayas were often associated with the Madras, the Usinaras, and the Sibis, and their territory had formed a part of the Vahika country, according to the evidence furnished by Pāṇini.〔India as Known to Panini, p 54, Dr V. S. Aggarwala.〕
==Geographical Location the Kekayas==
Numerous Puranas include the Kekayas in the list of Gandharas, Yavanas, Shakas, Paradas, Bahlikas, Kambojas, Daradas, Barbaras, Chinas, Tusharas, Pahlavas, and call them as a people of ''Udichya'' i.e. of northern division or Uttarapatha.〔Vayu Purana 1.45.117; Brahmand Purana, 1.2.26.48; Markendeya Purana, 52.37; Matsya Purana (Critical), 113.42; cf Swargaloka of 6.43; Mahabharata (Critical ed) 4.10.47; Brahma Purana 53.14; See: Krfel's text of the Uttarapatha countries of the Bhuvankosha〕 The Kekayas are said to have occupied the land now comprised by three districts of Jhelum, Shahpur and Gujerat,〔India as Known to Panini, p 52, Dr V. S. Aggarwala; Geographical Data in Ancient Puranas, 1972, p 162, Dr M. R. Singh.〕 all in Pakistan.
