Śabaras

Śabara

The Śabaras are a people named twice in the Pratisarga Parva of the Bhavishya Purāṇa.

Sūta tells Śaunaka that in the Kali age even the seven sacred purīs have seen hiṃsā begin, and that robbers, Śabaras, Bhillas and foolish people have filled the Ārya land, Bhāratavarsha.

In the fourth Khaṇḍa, Bhujavarmā, son of Śrīpati, conquered the Śabaras and Bhīlas and settled a land that became famous on earth as Bhujadeśa.
