Mūtiba (Sanskrit: Mūtiba, Mūvīpa, and Mūcīpa; Latin Modubae) was an ancient tribe of south-central South Asia whose existence is attested during the Iron Age.
[1][2] The precise location Mūtibas is yet uncertain.
The Roman author Pliny located them between the "Modogalingae," who lived on a large island in the Gaṅgā, and the Āndhras, and associates them with the Molindae (Pulindas) and the Uberae (Savaras).
[2] The name Mūcīpa, by which the Śāṅkhāyana Śrauta Sūtra calls the Mūtibas, might be connected to the name of the Musi river.
[2] The Mūtibas already existed as a tribe during the time of the Brāhmaṇas.
