Vedic Reference
English
Tūrvayāṇa is the name of a prince mentioned in the Rigveda.
He appears by name in two passages, ^1 and is clearly alluded
to in a third, ^2 as an enemy of Atithigva, Āyu, and Kutsa.
With this accords the fact that the Pakthas were opposed in
the battle of the ten kings to the Tṛtsus, ^3 and that Tūrvayāṇa
is shown by another passage of the Rigveda^4 to have been
a prince of the Pakthas. He is there represented as having
been a protégé of Indra, who aided him against Cyavāna and
his guardians, the Maruts. It is not probable that he is
identical with Suśravas.^5
1) i. 53, 10
vi. 18, 13.
2) ii. 14, 7 (as a comparison of the
two preceding passages shows)
per-
haps also viii. 53, 2. In i. 174, 3,
Tūrvayāṇa seems also to be a proper
name, though Roth, St. Petersburg
Dictionary, s.v., here regards the word
as an adjective.
3) vii. 18.
4) x. 61, 1 et seq.
