² In the *Śat. Br.* XIII. 5. 4, 4-5, Hiraṇyanābha is described as *Kausalyarāja*, but not as an Aikshvāka. On the other hand, Purukutsa Daurgaha is styled *Aikshvāka-rājā* but not as *Kausalya*, as if a distinction between *Kausalyas* and *Aikshvākas* is meant. The two terms need not refer to kings of the same dynasty ruling over exactly the same territory. As a matter of fact Trasadasyu is known to be a king of the Pūrus. An Ikshvākuid styled Vārshṇa, connected with the Vṛishṇis (?), is mentioned in *Jaim. Up. Br.* I. 5. 4.
