Ancient Indian Historical Tradition c28.16

c28.16

There is no good reason to distrust the tradition about these kṣatriyan brahmans, as has been shown above (p. 124). Even the Bhāgavata, avowedly a brahmanic Purana, acknowledges the origin of the Urukṣayas, Kapis, Gārgyas, Priyamedhas and Maudgalyas from the Paurava dynasty,² as will be shown. That brahmans sprang from this dynasty is alluded to in other passages.³
