The Mūjavants have been mentioned in the *Atharvaveda* along with the Mahāvṛishas, Gandhāris, and Bāhlikas as dwelling far away and to whom fever is to be relegated. The *Yajurveda* also speaks of the Mūjavants as a distant people. If the people took their name from Mūjavant, a mountain in the Himālayas, which seems to be quite likely, they were a hill-tribe in the Himālayas.
