Question

The Dasarajna or the battle of ten kings is an important historical event, and many of the important tribes and principalities figured in this battle.
Sudas was a Bharata king of Tritsu family. At first, Visvamitra was the priest of Sudas, but Visvamitra was dismissed by Sudas who appointed Vasishtha as his priest.
In revenge, Visvamitra led a tribal confederacy of ten kings against the Bharatas, the federation consisting of the five well-known tribes—Puru, Yadu, Turvasa, Anu and Druhyu—along with five of little note, viz. Alina, Paktha, Bhalanas, Siva and Vishanin.
In the struggle on the Parushni (Ravi), the Bharatas emerged victorious. Another issue which sparked off the conflict was the division of the waters of the Parushni.
There was another battle that Sudas had to fight in which the three non-Aryan tribes—Ajas, Sigrus and Yakshus—had united under king Bheda; but these new associations also met with the same fate with the great slaughter on the Yamuna.
