‘destroyer (of the good), ’ N. of a class of evil beings

Śambara, Śuṣṇa, Cumuri, &c.
and these Dasyus
are not only spirits of darkness like the Rākṣasas,
but have other characteristics which bring them into
closer relationship to men living in the world: some-
times a general distinction is drawn between man,
i. e. मनु, आयु, नृ, and the Dasyus, the latter
being called अ-मानुष, or the Dasyu is contrasted
as an अन्-आर्य with the pious and respectable man
or आर्य
or rarely दस्यु means ‘a barbarian or
savage, ’ as contrasted with ‘a civilized man’)
any
cruel or mischievous man, an enemy, thief, robber,
oppressor, bandit, ruffian, violator, perpetrator of in-
justice
(according to Manu) a barbarian, an out-

पुराणम्
English
दस्यु / DASYU. The ancient dwellers of North india. What we see in ṛgveda is mostly a history of the Āryans from the period of their exodus from the plateau kumbha till they reached the banks of the yamunā. The plateau of Kuṁbha is Kabul. The Dasyus were the first people the Aryans had to confront with after passing the Indus. ṛgveda bears testimony to the fact that the civilization of the Dasyus was far advanced than that of the Āryans. Śaṁbara, King of the Dasyus, was the ruler of hundred cities. All the cities were fortified with strong walls and fortresses, which are described as ‘aśvamayī’, ‘āyasī’, ‘śatabhujī’ etc. The greatest enemies of the Āryans were the ‘Paṇis’ of these cities. They were a particular class of people of these cities. In the ‘Nirukta of Yāska’ it is mentioned that paṇis were traders. Names of many of the Kings of the Dasyus occur in the ṛgveda. Dhuni, Cumuri, Pipru, varcas, Śaṁbara and such others are the most valiant and mighty among them. The most important of the several tribes of the Dasyus were the Śimyus, the Kīkaṭas, Śigrus and the Yakṣus. They are mentioned as the Anāsas in the ṛgveda. (Anāsas--without nose). Perhaps their nose was flat
more over they are stated as having dark complexion. So it may be assumed that the Dasyus were Dravidians. They talked a primitive language, and they despised sacrificial religion. They did not worship Gods like indra and others. They possibly worshipped the Phallus, śiva, Devi and the like.
Vedic Reference
English
Dasyu, a word of somewhat doubtful origin, is in many
passages of the Rigveda^1 clearly applied to superhuman
enemies. On the other hand, there are several passages in
which human foes, probably the aborigines, are thus designated.
This may be regarded as certain in those passages where the
Dasyu is opposed to the Āryan, who defeats him with the aid
of the gods.^2 The great difference between the Dasyus and
the Āryans was their religion: the former are styled ‘not
sacrificing, ’ ‘devoid of rites, ’ ‘addicted to strange vows, ’ ‘god-
hating, ’ and so forth.^3 As compared with the Dāsa, they are
less distinctively a people: no clans (viśaḥ) of the Dasyus are
mentioned, and while Indra's dasyu-hatya, ‘slaughter of the
Dasyus, ’ is often spoken of, there is no corresponding use of
dāsa-hatya. That the Dasyus were real people is, however,
shown by the epithet anās applied to them in one passage of the
Rigveda.^5 The sense of this word is not absolutely certain: the
Pada text and Sāyaṇa both take it to mean ‘without face’ (an-ās), ^6
but the other rendering, ‘noseles’ (a-nās), is quite possible, ^7
4 Rv. i. 51, 5, 6
103, 4
x. 95, 7
99, 7
105, 11. Cf. dasyu-han. ‘Dasyu-
slaying, ’ i. 100, 12
vi. 45, 24
viii. 76,
11
77, 3
x. 47, 4 (all of Indra)
vi. 16, 15
viii. 39, 8 (of Agni), etc.
and would accord well with the flat-nosed aborigines of the
Dravidian^8 type, whose language still persists among the Brahuis,
who are found in the north-west. This interpretation would
receive some support from Vṛtra's being called ‘broken-nosed’
if this were a correct explanation of the obscure word rujānās.^9
The other epithet of the Dasyus is mṛdhra-vāc, which
occurs with anās, ^10 and which has been rendered^11 ‘of stam-
mering, or unintelligible speech.’ This version is by no
means certain, and since the epithet is elsewhere^12 applied
to Āryans, its correct meaning is more probably ‘of hostile
speech.’
Dasyu corresponds with the Iranian daṅhu, daqyu, which
denotes a ‘province.’ Zimmer^13 thinks that the original
meaning was ‘enemy, ’ whence the Iranians developed the
sense of ‘hostile country, ’ ‘conquered country, ’ ‘province, ’
while the Indians, retaining the signification of ‘enemy, ’ ex-
tended it to include demon foes. Roth^14 considers that the
meaning of human enemy is a transfer from the strife of gods
and demons. Lassen^15 attempted to connect the contrast
daqyu: dasyu with that of daeva: deva, and to see in it a result
of the religious differences which, according to Haug's theory,
had separated the Iranians and the Indians. The word may
have originally meant ‘ravaged land’^16 as a result of invasion
hence ‘enemies’ country, ' then ‘hostile people, ’ who as human
foes were more usually called by the cognate name of Dāsa.
Individual Dasyus are Cumuri, Śambara, Śuṣṇa, etc.
In the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa^17 the word has, as later, ^18 the
sense of uncivilized peoples generally.

5) Rv. v. 29, 10.
6) This sense allows of two inter-
pretations: ‘misfeatured, ’ which seems
that of Roth, St. Petersburg Dic-
tionary, s.v., and Grassmann, Wörter-
buch
or ‘speechless’ (that is, unable
to speak the language of the Āryans),
which is that of Bollensen, Zeitschrift
der Deutschen Morgenländischen Gesell-
schaft, 41, 496.
7) This view is supported by Mega-
sthenes' report as to natives who were
ἄστομοι: see Strabo, p. 711
Pliny,
Nat. Hist., vii. 2, 18, cited by Zimmer,
Altindisches Leben, 430. See also Ludwig,

8) The suggestion in the Indian Empire,
1, 390, that the modern Brahui type is
the true Dravidian, while the modern
Dravidian is the result of fusion with
Muṇḍā-speaking tribes, would render
this theory improbable. But it seems
more probable that the Brahuis in
speech preserve the tradition of Dra-
vidian settlements in North India.
9) See Bloomfield, American Journal of
Philology, 17, 415 (who takes rujānāḥ of
Rv. i. 32, 8, as = rujāna-nāḥ)
Olden-
berg, Ṛgveda-Noten, 1, 31, 32 (who
suggests as possible the analysis of the
word as rujā-anāḥ). But cf. Lanman,
Sanskrit Reader, 361, who suggests the
emendation rujānaḥ as nominative
singular of the simple participle
‘broken’

10) Rv. v. 29, 10.
11) Cf. Muir, Sanskrit Texts, 2^2, 393

12) The expression is used of the
Āryan Pūrus in vii. 18, 13
of the Paṇis
in vii. 6, 3
and of hostile persons in
i. 174, 2
v. 32, 8
x. 23, 5. Roth,
Erläuterungen zum Nirukta, 97, thinks
the sense is ‘of insulting speech, ’ and
Zimmer, op. cit., 114, 115, strongly
supports this view. But Hillebrandt,
op. cit., 1, 89, 90, 114, prefers to see in
it ‘speaking an enemy's speech, ’ and
thinks that the Pūrus were dialectically
different from the Bharatas — a view
which can be supported from the Śata-
patha Brāhmaṇa, iii. 2, 1, 23, 24,
where the Asuras say he'lavo (= he'rayo,
‘ho, enemies, ’ in Sanskrit). See Muir,
op. cit., 2^2, 114
Davidson, Zeitschrift
der Deutschen Morgenländischen Gesell-
schaft, 37, 23 (the Mahābhāṣya version)
Eggeling, Sacred Books of the East, 26,
31, n. 3. The word could thus apply
to the Dasyus also, as the strange
speech of the enemy could be either
Āryan or aboriginal.

16) Both this word and Dāsa appear
to be derived from the root das, which,
according to Whitney, Roots, means
‘lay waste’
but, according to Roth,
‘suffer want, ’ ‘waste away.’

{753, 2}
vgl. {175, 3}), werden nicht nur als unter ihrer Gewalt stehend betrachtet, sondern geradezu ihnen gleichgesetzt, und daher 5〉 dem gläubigen Arier (ā́ria) gegenübergestellt, als die ungläubigen, götterfeindlichen. 6〉 Die Zusammenstellung dásyave vṛka erscheint als Eigenname, ebenso vielleicht 7〉 die Zusammenstellung dásyave sáha. — Adj. akarmán, ádhara. anā́s, anyá-vrata, amantú, áśiva, dhanín, vṛjiná, suhána u. s. w.
