Inimical peoples are generally
Vedic Kshatriya or nobility among these five peoples.
Divodasa, another great Vedic king of the Puru line, defeats Turvasha and
Yadu in the Rig Veda.(*31) A king named Divodasa in the Puranas
defeats the Yadus. In the Mahabharata,
Mandhata, a great Rig Vedic king and Dasyu conqueror,
defeats the Druhyus, the lunar dynasty king of Gandhara or
Afghanistan.(*32) Parashurama, the sixth avatar of Lord Vishnu,
chastises not only the Yadus (Kartavirya Arjuna) but all the
Kshatriyas. The great king of the solar dynasty Sagara also defeats
the Yadus, who had allied themselves with many foreign
peoples.
The main Vedic and Puranic battles are hence between the Purus and
their allies (like the Ikshvakus) and the Yadus and their various allies
(mainly the Turvashas but sometimes the
Druhyus).
