This article is about the historical Rigvedic tribe. For the historical king who fought Alexander the Great, see Porus the Elder. For the village in Estonia, see Puru, Estonia. For the mythological Hindu king, see King Puru.
The Purus were a Rigvedic tribe or a confederation of tribes c. 1700–1400 BC. There were several factions of Purus, one being the Bharatas. The Purus and the Bharatas were the two most prominent tribes in most of the Rigveda.[1] The Purus rallied many other groups against King Sudas of the Bharata, but were defeated in the Battle of the Ten Kings (RV 7.18, etc.).
