They are mentioned with the Anus, Druhyus, Turvaśas, and Yadus in one passage.¹ They also occur as enemies of the Tṛtsus in the hymn of Sudās’ victory.² In another hymn³ Agni of the Bharatas is celebrated as victorious over the Pūrus, probably a reference to the same decisive overthrow. On the other hand, victories of the Pūrus over the aborigines seem to be referred to in several passages.⁴ - [Previous: v2.c4.184](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.184) - [Next: v2.c4.186](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.186) - [Up: v2.c4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.185](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.185) · Pramāṇa
