Tribes in Ancient India c5.87

c5.87

The *Vāyupurāṇa* informs us that after killing the Haihayas, King Sagara was engaged in annihilating the Kāmbojas, Śakas, Yavanas, Pahlavas and others. All these tribes, however, secured the aid of Vasiṣṭha, Sagara’s spiritual preceptor. Listening to the words of Vasiṣṭha, Sagara set the Kāmbojas free after having completely shaven their heads (Vaṅgavāsī Edition, Chap. 88). It is stated in the *Harivaṃśa* that the Ikṣvāku King Vāhu was dethroned by Kāmbojas and others (Chaps. 13, 14).
