Discussion
In which of the following texts of ancient India do we find reference to the "Matsya" mahajanapada?
Answer: A
The Matsyas are referred to in the Rig Veda.
The Matsya tribe, whose territory around Bairath (Viratnagar) near Jaipur later formed the Matsya mahajanapada, is mentioned in the Rig Veda among the peoples involved in the Battle of the Ten Kings against Sudas. That is the earliest textual reference to them; they appear later in the Brahmanas, the Mahabharata and the Buddhist lists of the sixteen mahajanapadas.
The Sama, Yajur and Atharva Vedas are not where this early reference to the Matsyas is found, so they are not the answer.
