• Kings in early states were not invariably Kshatriyas.
• Several important ruling lineages had different origins.
• For example, according to later Buddhist texts, social background of the Mauryas was Kshatriya, but Brahmanical texts described them as being of "low" origin. They established a mighty empire.
• Shakas were regarded as mlechchhas (barbarians or outsiders) by the Brahmanas. However, Rudradaman, the best-known Shaka ruler, was a powerful ruler.
• Powerful mlechchhas who were familiar with Sanskritic traditions could become rulers.
• Ruler of the Satavahana dynasty, Gotami-puta Siri Satakani claimed to be both a Brahmana and a Kshatriya.
