The other two have been regarded as historical, Sāvarṇi being taken by Ludwig⁸ as a king of the Turvaśas, but this is very doubtful. - [Previous: v2.c4.s4.190](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s4.190) - [Next: v2.c4.s4.192](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s4.192) - [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.s4.191](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s4.191) · Pramāṇa
