c5.36

The Kāmbojas are not mentioned in the *Ṛgveda* itself, but indirect evidence may help to justify the assumption that they were included among the Vedic Aryans in the Ṛgvedic era. A sage Upamanyu is mentioned at *Ṛgveda*, I, 102, 9, and it is not unreasonable to conjecture that he may have been the father of the Kāmboja teacher of the *Vamśa Brāhmaṇa* list. Such a possibility is suggested by Zimmer.²
