Vaśas and Uśīnaras, as stated earlier, were dwelling in the middle country with the Kuru-Pañchālas. The *Gopatha Brāhmaṇa* which speaks of the Vaśas and Uśīnaras as united (I. 2. 9) regards them as northerners (II. 9). These Uśīnaras according to Weber were the forefathers of the later Kāśis and Videhas.²⁷ The *Kaushītaki Upanishad* (IV. 1) connects the Vaśas also with the Matsyas. The country of the Vaśas, who later came to be known as Vatsas, was situated round about Kauśāmbī, their capital.
