The Sabhaparava of the Mahabharata describes the Lohas, Kambojas and Rishikas as neighboring tribes west of the Himalayas. The Adiparva of the Mahabharata compares the Kambojas and the Rishikas, describing them both as despised people. The Kambojan king Chandravarma is described as an incarnation of Daitya Chandra and the sage, Rishika (from the Rishika tribe), is described as an incarnation of Danva Arka.
