If the Trtsus and their subjects, the Bharatas, were in the Rigvedic period at war with the tribes on either side of the territory between the Paruṣṇī and the Yamunā, it is clear²³ that later on they coalesced with the Pūrus and probably others of those tribes to form the Kuru people. Already in the Rigveda²⁴ the Trtsus are allied with the Sṛñjayas, and in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa²⁵ one Purohita serves both Kurus and Sṛñjayas.
