The Battle of the Ten Kings is a battle alluded to in Mandala 7 of the Rigveda. It is a battle between Aryans. It took place as Puru tribes, allied with other tribes of the Punjab and goaded by the royal sage Vishvamitra, oppose the Trtsu king Sudas in battle, but are defeated as was celebrated in a provocative hymn of Sudas' poet and priest Vasishtha. K. F. Geldner in his 1951 translation of the Rigveda considers the hymns as "obviously based on an historical event", even though all details save for what is preserved in the hymns have been lost. Further details have been provided in an incisive discussion of this hymn by H.-P. Schmidt.…mehr
