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. - [Previous: v1.c3.s17.343](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17.343) - [Next: v1.c3.s17.345](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17.345) - [Up: v1.c3.s17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17.344](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17.344) · Pramāṇa
