v1.c19.s3.t2.6

The Kuru-Pañchālas are the people *par excellence* in the Brāhmaṇa period, and they are referred to as a united nation. At one time the Kuru-Pañchālas are said to have had one king. The mode of sacrifice of the Kuru-Pañchālas is spoken of as the best, and their Brāhmaṇas gained eminence and fame in the period of the Upanishads. The Kuru-Pañchāla kings, the models for others, performed Rājasūyas and set out on their victorious raids in autumn and returned in summer. Speech is said to have been best spoken there, and the Saṁhitās and Brāhmaṇas seem to have taken their definite form among the Kuru-Pañchālas.
