Nahus occurs several times in the Rigveda, but the exact sense is not certain. Ludwig sees in the Nahus a tribe on the Sindhu (Indus) or Sarasvatī, rich in horses, allied with the Bharatas and Śimyus, connected with Kakṣīvant and the Vārṣāgiras, and having as kings Maśarśāra and Āyavasa. Roth, on the other hand, sees in Nahus the general sense of ‘neighbour’ as opposed to a member of one's own people (Viś); this interpretation is supported by the occurrence of the phrase nahuṣo nahuṣṭara, ‘closer than a neighbour.’ Nahuṣa has the same sense as Nahus in two passages of the Rigveda, but in one it seems to be intended for the proper name of a man. Possibly Nahus was originally a man like Manu.
