The Poureai alias Purus were an Indo aryan tribal alliance or a confederation of tribes that existed between c. 1700–1400 BCE.[1] There were several factions of Purus, one being the Bharatas.[2] The Purus and the Bharatas were the two most prominent tribes in most of the Rigveda.[1] The chief of tribe was called Rajan[3] 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).
