Later, the Kauravas again became eminent under Pratīpa² and his successor Śantanu, who superseded his elder brother or cousin Devāpi (p. 252); and South Pañcāla under Brahmadatta (p. 164). Ugrāyudha of the Dvimīdhas conquered North Pañcāla and destroyed the dynasty in South Pañcāla. He then attacked the Kauravas after Śantanu’s death, but Bhīṣma killed him, and Pṛṣata, the heir to North Pañcāla, who had taken refuge in Kāmpilya, recovered his ancestral kingdom (p. 166). S. Pañcāla with its dynasty destroyed would seem to have been under the sway of the Kauravas.
