c7.14

The Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa (XII, 9, 3, 3) speaks of a Kauravya King Balhika Prātipīya (Kauravya and Kaurava being interchangeable variants); while Yāska’s Nirukta¹ also asserts that Devāpi Ārṣiṣeṇa and Śantanu were Kauravyas. The Kuru kings are mentioned by the name Koravya in the Pāli Buddhist literature, as we shall show below.
