v1.c3.s11.574
Kuruṅga is mentioned in the Rigveda¹ as a prince and a patron. Ludwig² suggests that he was a king of the Anus, but for this theory there seems no good ground. As the Turvaśas are mentioned in the same verse, he may possibly have been one of their kings. The name suggests a connexion with the Kurus, and it may be noted that in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa³ the Turvaśas are connected with the Pañcālas (Krivis).
