³ The ‘Mahâbhârata,’ ‘Vishnu Purâna,’ and ‘Varâha Mihira’ (in the 6th century), frequently mention the Pahlavas among the tribes in the north-west, and some scholars have tried to identify them with the Pallavas, who were in the south-east of India as early as the 2nd century, but the similarity of names alone will hardly justify the assumption of identity.
