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. - [Previous: v1.c3.s17.407](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17.407) - [Next: v1.c3.s17.409](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17.409) - [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.s17.408](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17.408) · Pramāṇa
