Pṛṣata was succeeded by his son Drupada in North Pañcāla, but Droṇa, whom Drupada treated with disdain, conquered him with the aid of the young Pāṇḍavas and Kauravas. Droṇa got both North and South Pañcāla, and keeping North Pañcāla for himself gave Drupada South Pañcāla. With Drupada in that transfer went the Sṛñjayas and Somakas, for they accompanied him at the Bhārata battle.¹
