सुदास्sudās

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 Brāhmaṇa⁷ 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. Paijavana, Bharata, Saudāsa.
