Alina is the name of a people mentioned once only in the

Rigveda.¹ Roth² thought that the Alinas were allies — possibly

a subdivision — of the Tṛtsus. Ludwig³ more probably thinks

that they were defeated by Sudās, together with the Pakthas,

Bhalānas, Śivas, and Viṣāṇins, with whom they are mentioned,

at the Paruṣṇī; and Zimmer⁴ suggests that they lived to the

north-east of Kafiristan. [Footnote] 1) vii. 18, 7. [Footnote] 2) Zur Litteratur und Geschichte des
