सुदास् २ / SUDĀS II. An Āryan King named sudās is stated in ṛgveda. It is mentioned in ṛgveda Maṇḍala 1, Anuvaka 11, Sūkta 63, that viśvāmitra saved this King from a danger. (See under Dāśarājña).
Vedic Reference
English
Su-dās is the name of the Tṛtsu king who won a famous
victory over the ten kings, as described in a hymn of the
Rigveda.^1 At one time Viśvāmitra was his Purohita, and
accompanied him in his victorious raids over the Vipāś
(Beās) and Śutudrī (Sutlej).^2 The Aśvins gave him a queen,
Sudevī, ^3 and also helped him on another occasion.^4 He
appears with Trasadasyu in a late hymn without hint of
rivalry, ^5 but elsewhere he seems to be referred to as defeated by
Purukutsa, Trasadasyu's father.^6 In the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa^7
he is recognized as a great king, with Vasiṣṭha as his Puro
hita, and similarly in the Śāṅkhāyana Śrauta Sūtra, ^8 where his
generosity to his priest is related.
His exact ancestry is a little uncertain, because he is called
Paijavana, ‘son of Pijavana, ’ as Yāska explains the patro-
nymic. If this explanation is correct, Divodāsa must have
been his grandfather. If he was the son of Divodāsa, Pijavana
must be understood as a more remote ancestor. The former
alternative seems the more probable. Cf. Turvaśa, Dāśarājña.

su-dās as an adjective (‘worshipping
well’).
