v1.c17.121

Of the Pañchālas apart from the Kurus we hear comparatively little: they had however kings like Kraivya and Çoṇa Sātrāsāha, father of Koka, who performed the horse-sacrifice and thus claimed imperial power, Durmukha, who was taught the royal consecration by Bṛihaduktha and conquered the whole earth, and the more real Pravāhaṇa Jaivali who appears as philosopher king in the Upanishads, and who at least must have been willing to take part in the disputes of the Brāhmans at his court. Pañchāla towns were Kāmpīla, Kauçāmbī, and Parivakrā or Paricakrā, the scene of Kraivya’s exploits.
