If, on the other hand, Nahus is taken as a proper name, then Nāhuṣa no doubt denotes 'belonging to the Nahus people,' and, as a substantive, 'King of the Nahus.' - [Previous: v1.c3.s20.507](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s20.507) - [Next: v1.c3.s20.509](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s20.509) - [Up: v1.c3.s20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s20) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s20.508](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s20.508) · Pramāṇa
