Vedic Reference
EnglishUd-īcyas. — The Brāhmaṇas of the northern parts are referred
to in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa^1 as engaging, with Svaidāyana
Śaunaka as their spokesman, in a dispute with the Kurupañcāla
Brāhmaṇa Uddālaka Āruṇi, and as vanquishing him. Their
relation to the Kurupañcālas appears also from the fact that in
the same Brāhmaṇa^2 reference is made to the speech of the
north being similar to that of the Kurupañcālas. The speech
of the Northerners was also celebrated for purity
hence
Brāhmaṇas used to go to the north for purposes of study,
according to the Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇa, ^3 while in the Buddhist
texts the school of Takṣaśilā (in Gandhāra) is famous as a
resort of students.^4 Possibly, too, Sanskrit was specially
developed in Kaśmīr, as suggested by Franke.^5 See also Kuru.
