giving the name Kuru-land to their newly won Bhāratiya territories. This Pali tradition is retained in Panchasūdani Atthakatha composed by Acharya Buddhaghosa who was a high caste Brāhmaṇa, learned in four Vedas, converted to Buddhism. He flourished in fourth century A. D. This shows that the Uttarakuru country was known as real till fourth century A. D. even to the Brāhmaṇas.
The Brāhmaṇical tradition as contained in Manusmriti also corroborates the event of Brāhmāryan colonisation. The region between the rivers Saraswati and Dşşadavati was first colonised by the people coming from Uttarakuru. The Aryan leaders were known as Devas. The land which lies between the best and illustrious rivers Saraswati and Drsa davati is called Brahmāvartādesa which has been founded by Devas. The phrase "Deyamirmita' does not mean 'created by gods' as suggested by George Bublero. The land already existed when the Asuras inhabited it. Powerful people's republics of the Asura Panchajanāh flourished on their banks. What the Devas did was to create a home for themselves in this region which they had widely covered after their military conquest. The word 'Brahmāvarta' means the land covered by the Brahma people or the Brahmāryan foreign invaders. Only foreign people found thier colonies in the lands of their military conquests and cover it, after physical subjugation, by their political and administrative system. The founding of British Colonies in America and Bhārata and covering of these colonial lands by British invaders is a parallel event of modern history. That the colonists may settle and make their conquered land as their permanent home is proved by the American example in modern history and the Brahmāryan example in ancient history. The Uttarakuru intruders colonised the Saraswati-Drşadvati region and then made it permanent home.
