³ They were regarded as enemies of the kings by Roth, *Zur Litteratur und Geschichte des Weda*, 95, and by Zimmer, *op. cit.*, 126. The latter, however, altered his view (see pp. 430, 431, which Hopkins, *op. cit.*, 260, has overlooked), and there is no doubt that the later opinion is correct. Cf. also Ludwig, *Translation of the Rigveda*, 3, 173; Hopkins, 260, 261. Of these tribes the Pakthas, Alinas, Bhalānas, Viṣāṇins, and Śivas, were probably settled in the north-west, to the west of the Indus, and around the Kabul River. The Anus, Pūrus, Turvaśas, Yadus, and Druhyus, were probably tribes of the Panjab; the Ajas, Śigrus, and Yakṣus, tribes of the east, under Bheda; Śambara may also have been a native of the east; Śimyu and Kavaṣa are doubtful; and the Vaikarṇau probably belonged to the north-west.
