KURU. A prince of the Lunar race, son of Samvarana by Tapatī, a daughter of the sun. He ruled in the north-west of India over the country about Delhi. A people called Kurus, and dwelling about Kuru-kshetra in that part of India, are connected with him. He was ancestor both of Dhrita-rāshtra and Pāndu, but the patronymic Kaurava is generally applied to the sons of the former.
