¹ Rig Veda (Griffith’s trans.). In the Mahābhārata we come across the following passage: “War was invented by Indra for the destruction of Dasyus, and bows, weapons, and armour were created for the same purpose. Therefore, merit is acquired by the destruction of Dasyus.” Udyoga Parva, Sec. 29, sls. 30-31.
