very interesting.
so if thirupati is the northern limit of the "nadus" of Tamil country, and aryavarta (as quoted here in this forum itself from the puranas) is the land north of the Vindhyas, then who was the traditional resident of the middle strip?????
the tribal Austroloids?? afterall they are concentrated in south orrissa, north andhra, lower madhya pradesh and jharkhand mainly.
