Hymn i, 130, 7, 10 proves that some of the descendants of Divodāsa \*the warrior\* were rishis and brahmans; and x, 133 is attributed to Sudās. These allusions confirm the statements in the genealogy that Mudgala’s descendants were ‘kṣatriyan brahmans’, as will be discussed in chapter XXIII. - [Previous: c15.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c15.7) - [Next: c15.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c15.9) - [Up: c15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c15) ## Cites (1) - [Ṛgvedasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.samhita.rg.10.69.2) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c15.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c15.8) · Pramāṇa
