CHAPTER XL
THE NASIKYAS
The Puranas make a mess in the mention of this people. The Märkandeya Purana in one context reads it as Naiṣikas (LVII, 48), but in the same canto in another context reads it as Näsikyāvas (LVII, 51), and still in another place correctly as Nasikyas (LVIII, 24). There is no doubt that at all these places one and the same people of ancient Nasik is meant. The Vayupurana reads Nairņikas (XLV, 127) which the Märkandeya Purana reads Naisikas, and instead of Nasikyāvas of the same source, it reads Nasikyas. The Matsyapurana reads Väsikas (CXIII, 50). This confusion makes it evident that the people and the region were not so widely celebrated. This people moreover does not seem to have been known to the authors of the Epics.
