Vedic Reference
English
Vaikarṇa occurs but once in the Rigveda^1 in the description
of the Dāśarājña, where Sudās is stated to have overthrown the
twenty-one tribes (janān) of the kings or folk of the two
Vaikarṇas. Zimmer^2 conjectures that they were a joint
people, the Kuru-Krivis: this is quite possible, and even
probable. Vikarṇa as the name of a people is found in the
Mahābhārata, ^3 and a lexicographer^4 places the Vikarṇas in
Kaśmīr, a reminiscence probably of a real settlement of the
Kurus in that country. Cf. Uttara Kuru.

Cf. Hopkins, Journal of the American
Oriental Society, 15, 261 et seq., who sees
in Vaikarṇau the two Vaikarṇa kings.
