Everything about Sudas totally explained
Sudās ("worshipping well", an
s-stem, either from a root
dās, or with the extra
s added to avoid an archaic root noun in
ā,
Sudā-, which would easily be mistaken for a feminine name) is a king from the
Rig Veda. He is a descendant of
Divodasa. Divodasa is a descendant of
Srnjaya, who in turn is a descendant of
Devavata. He was the victor in the famous
Battle of the Ten Kings, which established the ascendency of the
Bhar clan.
Sudas can differently mean "one who gives beautiful gifts/ bountiful/ giver of great gifts". su (good, beautiful as in sundar)+ da: (h)(giver)(people of "madra" emphasized on the end ':h' so Sudah: was spoken as Sudas). Citation: Rahul Sankrityayana's "Volga se Ganga".
