Zimmer¹⁹ considers that the Turvaśas were also called Vṛcīvants. This view is based on a hymn²⁰ in which reference is made to the defeat of the Vṛcīvants on the Yavyāvatī and Hariyūpīyā in aid of Daivarāta, and of Turvaśa in aid of Sṛñjaya, the latter being elsewhere²¹ clearly the son of Devarāta. But as this evidence for the identification of the Turvaśas with the Vṛcīvants is not clear, it seems sufficient²² to assume that they were allies.
