<P> Kamarupa and the northeast Indian region find no mention in the Ashokan records ( 3rd century BCE ) . The first dated mention comes from the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea ( 1st century ) where it describes a people called Sêsatai , and the second mention comes from Ptolemy 's Geographia ( 2nd century ) calls the region Kirrhadia after the Kirata population . Arthashastra ( early centuries of the Christian era ) mentions `` Lauhitya '' , which is identified with Brahmaptra valley by a later commentator . </P>
