Kuruṅga is mentioned in the Rigveda as a prince and a patron. Ludwig suggests that he was a king of the Anus, but for this theory there seems no good ground. As the Turvaśas are mentioned in the same verse, he may possibly have been one of their kings. The name suggests a connexion with the Kurus, and it may be noted that in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa the Turvaśas are connected with the Pañcālas (Krivis).
