Vedic Reference
English
Alina is the name of a people mentioned once only in the
Rigveda.^1 Roth^2 thought that the Alinas were allies — possibly
a subdivision — of the Tṛtsus. Ludwig^3 more probably thinks
that they were defeated by Sudās, together with the Pakthas,
Bhalānas, Śivas, and Viṣāṇins, with whom they are mentioned,
at the Paruṣṇī
and Zimmer^4 suggests that they lived to the
north-east of Kafiristan.
