Purushotthama

Purushotthama (c.325 BC) was the king of Kekaya (the land of the Puru tribe), one of the janapadas (kingdoms) that originated from Aryan settlements in ancient India. Its location was in what is now middle Punjab, the areas between the rivers Jhelum and Chenab and its extent varied from time to time. Purushotthama is possibly the Porus who fought Alexander the Great at the battle of the Hydaspes River.
