The Gupta empire (r. 3rd-century CE), founded by 艢r墨 Gupta, covered much of ancient India and embraced the Dharmic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.

Madra (啶う啷嵿ぐ) is the name of a tribe mentioned as inhabiting the region around ancient Ka艣m墨ra (Kashmir valley) according to the N墨lamatapu谤腻峁嘺.鈥擣amous since the Vedic times, the Madras were, according to the B峁沨ad膩ra峁噛akopani峁d, well versed in sacrificial studies. They were a corporation of warriors and enjoyed the title of 谤腻jas. In the 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补 they are condemned for their close relations with the V膩h墨kas. Their country Madra which finds mention in the A峁ａ弓膩dhy膩y墨, the Mah膩bh膩峁a and the J膩takas, corresponds to the modern Sialkot (ancient 艢膩kala) and the surrounding regions between the I谤腻vat墨 and the Candrabh膩g膩.

Madra (啶う啷嵿ぐ) (or Madda in Pali) is the name of an ancient kingdom situated in Utta谤腻patha (Northern District) of ancient India, as recorded in the P膩li Buddhist texts (detailing the geography of ancient India as it was known in to Early Buddhism).鈥擳he Madras had a monarchical constitution and their territory may be said to correspond roughly to Sialkot and its adjacent districts which were known as late as the 18th century as the Madrade艣a. That S膩gala or S膩kala (modern Sialkot in the Punjab) was the capital of the Madra country is also attested to by the 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补, as also by several J膩takas (cf. the K膩岣穒峁単abodhi J膩taka and the Kusa J膩taka).
