Historical references
The Utvansh dynasty was a branch of the Yadavas, who ruled over the western parts of the Magadha Empire in ancient India during the 5th and 4th centuries BCE. They were considered to be the descendants of King Ushinara, the last king of the Haihayas. The Utvansh rulers were vassals of the Magadha emperors and enjoyed considerable autonomy in their territories. One of the most famous Utvansh rulers was Mahavira, the founder of Jainism.
5th-4th centuries BCE
Another reference to the Utvansh dynasty can be found in the Mahabharata, an epic poem of ancient India, where the Utvansh king Prasenajit is mentioned as a powerful ruler who ruled over the kingdom of Kasi (present day Varanasi) during the Kurukshetra war. He played an important role in the war by providing troops and resources to the Pandava army led by Bhima.
circa 3000 BCE (the date of the Mahabharata is uncertain)
