The History and Culture of the Indian People v1.c19.s2.18

v1.c19.s2.18

The Kīkaṭas occur in the *Ṛigveda* (III. 53. 14) as a people under Pramaganda's leadership and hostile to the singer. Zimmer, on Yāska's authority, takes these people as non-Aryans and locates them in the country later known as Magadha. Weber accepts the location but takes them to be Aryans, though at variance with the other Aryan tribes.
