Sungas:

The Sungas were brahmanas and there are several references to Sunga teachers in Vedic texts. The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad mentions a teacher named Sungiputra. From Panini we learn that the Sungas were of Bharadvaja gotra. Kalidasa’s Malavikagnimitra describes Agnimitra, son of Pushyamitra, as belonging to the Baimbika kula and the Baudhayana Srauta Sutra represents the Baimbikayah as Kashyapas. In view of the conflicting statements, it is difficult to say whether Pushyamitra was a Sunga of Bharadvaja gotra or Baimbika of Kashyapa lineage. However, all these sources indicate that the Sungas were brahmanas. Moreover a later text like Harshacharita also refers to Pushyamitra as a brahmana who was an ignoble person.

Sunga rule in India according to the Puranas lasted for 112 years. Magadha was the nucleus of the kingdom. The usurpation of the Mauryan throne by Pushyamitra is referred to in the Puranas and Banabhatta’s Harshacharita. According to the Puranas, Pushyamitra ruled for 36 years and died in 151 BCE.
