v1.c17.22

Allied or closely connected with the Bharatas was the tribe of the Sṛiñjayas, whom we must probably locate in the neighbourhood of the Bharatas. One of their princes, Daivavāta, won a great victory over the Turvaças with their allies, the Vṛichīvants, of whom we know nothing more. Other princes of the line were Sahadeva, his son Somaka, and Prastoka, and Vītahavya. They were, like the Bharatas under Divodāsa, closely connected with the Bhāradvāja family of priests.
