Vedic Reference
English
Śimyu occurs in the Rigveda^1 as the name of one of the
peoples or kings who were defeated by Sudās in the Dāśarājña
(‘battle of the ten kings’). Since in another passage^2 the
Śimyus are coupled with the Dasyus, Zimmer^3 plausibly
concludes that they were non-Āryans.
1) vii. 18, 5.
2) i. 100, 18, where Roth, St. Peters-
burg Dictionary, s.v., thinks that the
word simply means ‘enemy.’
3) Altindisches Leben, 118, 119.
Cf. Hopkins, Journal of the American
Oriental Society, 15, 261.
