There is no trace whatever of his connexion with Pūru, as in the Epic,² the tradition of which must be deemed to be inaccurate. - [Previous: v2.c4.s4.999](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s4.999) - [Next: v2.c4.s4.1001](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s4.1001) - [Up: v2.c4.s4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s4.1000](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s4.1000) · Pramāṇa
