Vedic Reference
EnglishVṛcīvant is the name of a tribe referred to once in the
Rigveda, ^1 where it is clearly stated that the Sṛñjaya king,
Daivavāta, conquered the Turvaśa king and the Vṛcīvants.
Zimmer^2 thinks that the Vṛcīvants and the Turvaśa people
should be identified, but this is both unnecessary and improb-
able
it is adequate to assume that they were allied against^3
the Sṛñjayas. The Vṛcīvants appear again only in the strange
legend in the Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa, ^4 according to which the
Jahnus and the Vṛcīvants contended for sovereignty, Viśvā-
mitra, the Jahnu king, winning it by his knowledge of a
certain rite. See also Hariyūpīyā.
