And the Madras are mentioned to have come from Uttara Madra (North Madra) and settled in Punjab. The father of the five Pandava brothers married a princess of the Madras (Madri), and the youngest brothers (Nakul and Sahadev) were her sons. The Zoroastrian (another branch of Aryans) Avesta mentions thirteen homelands of Aryans after leaving their first, Arianam Vaejo, most of which are identified with places in Central Asia and the fifteenth is Hapta-Hendu (Sapta-Sindhu, the land of seven rivers, i.e., North-Western India).
