Usinaras
Usinaras (Devanagari:उसीनर) were an ancient people attested to have been living in central Punjab since remote antiquity. They were often associated with Madras, Kekayas, Sibis etc. and their territory formed part of Vahika country according to evidence of Pāṇini.
== Usinaras in Vedic literature ==
There is a reference to princess Usinarini (i.e. ''queen of Usinara'') in the Rigveda 〔10.69.10〕 Aitareya Brahmana seems to locate Usinaras along with the Kurus, Panchalas and the Vasas (''Savasa'') in middle region or Madhyadesha (Mid India).〔Aitareya Brahmana VIII.14.〕 ''Kaushitakai Upanishada'' colllocates the Usinaras with the Satvat-Matsyas, the Kuru-Panchalas and the Svasas.〔The Upanishads, Part I (SBE01): Kaushîtaki-Upanishad: 4.1.〕 They probably lived in a territory to the north of Madhyadesa, as neighbors to the Udichyas or the northerners. This is why the ''Gopatha Brahamana'' collocates the Usinaras and Svasas with the ''Udichyas'' or northerners.〔i.e ''Savasas-Usinareshu-Udichyeshu'', Gopatha Brahmana II. 9〕
''Divyavadana'' refers to the Svasas as people of Uttarapatha with headquarters at Takshasila to which king Ashoka was deputed by his father Bindusara as a Viceroy to quell their rebellion. The ancient Savasa or Svasa is said to be modern Chhibba which comprises ''Punch, Rajauri and Bhimbara''.
Thus, the Usinaras, the very neighbors of the Svasas must also be located in Punjab proper.
