इक्ष्वाकु (ikṣvāku) [Printed book page 1-075]
Ikṣvāku. — In the Rigveda this name occurs but once,1 and in a doubtful context. It is clear, however, that it denotes a prince; later interpretations make Asamāti, whose name is read into the hymn, an Ikṣvāku prince.2 In the Atharvaveda3 also the name is found in only one passage, where it is uncertain whether a descendant of Ikṣvāku, or Ikṣvāku himself, is referred to; in either case he seems to be regarded as an ancient hero. In the Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa4 mention is made of Tryaruṇa Traidhātva Aikṣvāka, who is identical with the Tryaruṇa Traivṛṣṇa of the Bṛhaddevatā,5 and with Tryaruṇa Trasa- dasyu in the Rigveda.6 The connection of Trasadasyu with the Ikṣvākus is confirmed by the fact that Purukutsa was an Aikṣvāka, according to the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa.7 Thus the Ikṣvāku line was originally a line of princes of the Pūrus. Zimmer8 places them on the upper Indus, but they may well have been somewhat further east.9 Later Ikṣvāku is connected with Ayodhyā
