¹ This is the view of Hopkins, *J.A.O.S.*, vol. xv, pp. 259 sq. According to the older view the Bharatas were foes of the Tṛitsus; see Muir, *Original Sanskrit Texts*, vol. i², p. 354; Zimmer, *Altindisches Leben*, p. 127; Bloomfield, *J.A.O.S.*, vol. xvi, pp. 41, 42. Ludwig, *Rigveda*, vol. iii, p. 172, identified the Bharatas and the Tṛitsus; Oldenberg, *Z.D.M.G.*, vol. xlii, p. 207, holds that the Tṛitsus are the Vasishṭhas, the priests of the Bharatas. But see Geldner, *Vedische Studien*, vol. ii, pp. 136 sq.
