This sage appears to be mentioned in two passages of the Rigveda, and the Anukramanī ascribes to him several hymns of the Rigveda. In the Brāhmana tradition he was Udgātr at the Rājasūya or Royal Inauguration Sacrifice, at which Sunahśepa was to have been slain, and his Udgītha (Sāmaveda chant) is referred to elsewhere. He is also referred to several times as a ritual authority. In the Vamśas, or Genealogies of the Brhadaran• yaka Upanisad, he is named as the pupil of Abhūti Tvāstra.
Is mentioned as a seer in the Rigveda, as a priest in the Aitareya Brāhmana, and as Prāsravana (or Prāsravana), son of Prasravana, in the Kausītaki Brāhmana. A hymn of the Rigveda is incorrectly ascribed to him in the Anukramanī.
Appears as Ṛṣi and protege of Indra in one hymn of the Rigveda. Roth however thinks that the word is really part of a verb meaning to 'to err, wander',and that the name is a mere misunderstanding. It is already so regarded in the Anukramanī, but not apparently in the Brhaddevatā
In the Aitareya Brāhmana the Kuru-Pañcālas are mentioned as dwelling together in the * Middle Country ’ with the Vaśas and the Uśīnaras. In the Kausītaki Upanisad also the Uśīnaras are associated with the Kuril-Pañcālas and Vaśas, but in the Gopatha Brāhmana the Uśīnaras and Vaśas are regarded as northerners. In the Rigveda the people is alluded to in one passage by reference to their queen, Uśīnarānī. Zimmer thinks that the Uśīnaras earlier lived farther to the north-west, but for this there is no clear evidence. His theory is based merely on the fact that the Anukramanī (Index) of the Rigveda ascribes one hymn to śibi Auśīnara, and that the śibis were known to Alexander’s followers as Xiβoc, living between the Indus and the Akesines (Chenab). But this is in no way conclusive, as the Sibis, at any rate in Epic times, occupied the land to the north of Kuruksetra, and there is no reason whatever to show that in the Vedic period the Uśīnaras were farther west than the ‘ Middle Country.’
Is mentioned in a hymn of the Rigveda as one of those whom, together with the Druhyu king, Indra overthrew for the Trtsus. The Anukramanī (Index) also attributes to him the authorship of several hymns of the Rigveda, including two that deal with a prince Kuruśravana and his descendant Upamaśravas. There seems no reason to doubt this attribution, which is accepted by both Zimmer and Geldner. The former holds that Kavasa was the Purohita of the joint tribes named Vaikarna, in whom he sees the Kuru- Krivi (Pañcāla) peoples, and that Kavasa in that capacity is mentioned in the Rigveda as representative of those peoples. He also suggests that the language of Rigveda is best explained by the reduced position in which the Kuru-Krivis found themselves on their defeat by the Trtsus. Ludwig, on the other hand, thinks that Kavasa was the priest of the five peoples. Geldner holds that Kavasa was the Purohita of Kuruśravana, by whose son, Upamaśravas, he was ill-treated, and that he composed Rigveda to deprecate the anger of his royal master. Hopkins thinks that he was a king. In the Brāhmanas of the Rigveda mention is made of Kavasa Ailūsa, who was a Brāhmana born of a female slave, and was reproached on this ground by the other Esis. He is possibly identical with the Kavasa of the Rigveda.
A very frequent word in the Epic and later, denoting the cuckoo, is only inferred for the Vedic period from its being the name of a Rājaputra in the Kāthaka Anukramanī.
(* son of Plati ’) is referred to in the Rigveda, two hymns of which he clearly claims to have composed, and which are attributed to him in the Sarvānukramanī and the Aitareya Brahmana. In the Atharvaveda he appears with Asita and Kaśyapa as a half-mythical magician.
Is mentioned as the son of Kuśika and father of Viśvāmitra in the Sarvānukramanī. It is difficult to say whether this tradition is correct; it derives some support from the Aitareya Brāhmana , where reference is made to the divine lore (daiva veda) of the Gāthins, which is said to be shared by Sunahśepa as a result of his adoption by Viśvāmitra. See Gāthina.
The sons of Viśvāmitra are described in the Aitareya Brāhmana as Gāthinas, or descendants of Gāthin, who, according to tradition, was their grandfather ; and Viśvāmitra himself is styled Gāthina in the Sarvānukramanī.
Is the name of a seer to whom the Sarvānu- kramanī attributes the authorship of the second Mandala of the Rigveda. This tradition is supported by the Aitareya Brāhmana and the Aitareya Aranyaka. The Kausītaki Brāhmana speaks of him as a Bhārgava, ‘ descendant of Bhrgu,’ with a variant Bābhrava, ‘ descendant of Babhru,’ but the later tradition keeps to the former patronymic.4 The Grtsamadas are often mentioned in the second Mandala of the Rigveda,5 and are also called Sunahotras,6 but never Gārtsamadas or Saunahotras, and Grtsamada himself never occurs there.
Is mentioned in the Sarvānukramanī as the author of Rigveda viii. 14 and 15, and a Sāman or Chant of his seems to be referred to in the Pañcavimśa Brāhmana (xix. 4, 9), under the title of Gausūkta. But see Gausūkti.
Is, according to the Anukramanī, the author of a Rigvedic hymn in which he appeals to Indra to hear his call. The Pañcavimśa Brāhmana adopts this view of the name, and mentions a Tiraścī Añgirasa. But Roth thinks that the word is not a proper name at all.
(‘Descendant of the Maruts ’) is the name of a divine being invoked in the Vājasaneyi Samhitā and the Taittirīya Samhitā, and also mentioned in the Kāthaka Samhitā. In the Satapatha Brāhmana the name is explained to mean Vāyu, while in the Pañcavimśa Brāhmana he seems to be regarded as the author of a Sāman (chant). He is treated as a Rsi by the Anukramanī, which credits him with the authorship of a hymn of the Rigveda.
Is the name of a Rsi who is referred to in the Rigveda and the Aitareya Brāhmana. The Anukramanī (Index) attributes to Nābhāka the composition of several hymns of the Rigveda.
‘Descendant of Nabhāka,’ is the name of a Rsi, or seer, in the Rigveda. The Anukramanī (Index) ascribes three or four hymns of the Rigveda to him. According to Ludwig, the man was an Angirasa, not a Kanva.
Occurs in the Rigveda as the name of a man to whom a hymn is ascribed by the Anukramanī (Index). A Sāman, or Chant, of his is mentioned in the Pañcavimśa Brāhmana.
(‘Descendant of Prajāpati ’) is credited by the Anukramanī (Index) with the authorship of a hymn of the Rigveda in which Patañga means the ‘sun-bird.’ He is also mentioned in the Jaiminīya Upanisad Brāhmana.
Is mentioned with Satayātu and Vasistha in the Rigvedic hymn celebrating Sudās’ victory over the ten kings. According to the Nirukta he was a son of Vasistha, but the Epic version makes him a son of śakti and grandson of Vasistha. Geldner thinks that he is mentioned in the Rigveda along with Satayātu, perhaps his uncle, and his grandfather Vasistha, as the three sages who approached Indra and won his favour for Sudās. He is erroneously credited with the authorship of certain hymns of the Rigveda by the Anukramanī (Index).
Is the name of a Rsi to whom the Anukramanī (Index) attributes a series of hymns in the Rigveda, and whose authorship is asserted in the Aitareya and the Kausītaki Brāhmanas, as well as in the Nirukta. In the Taittirīya Samhitā he appears as a rival of Nrmedhas.
Is mentioned several times in the Aitareya Brāhmana along with Nārada. The Anukramanī (Index) attributes to him the authorship of several hymns of the Rigveda.
Is mentioned twice in the Rigveda as an ancient sage, in which capacity he appears in the Atharvaveda also. Perhaps the same Purumīlha is intended in an obscure hymn in the Rigveda, where, according to the legends reported in the Brhaddevatā and by Sadguruśisya in his commentary on the Sarvānukramanī, and by Sāyana in his commentary on the Rigveda, he as well as Taranta was a son of Vidadaśva, and a patron of the singer Syāvāśva. The correctness of the legend has been shown to be most improbable by Oldenberg, who points out that the legend misinterprets the Rigveda by making Purumīlha a Vaidadaśvi, for he is there only compared in generosity to one. In another legend found in the Pañcavimśa Brāhmana, and based on a hymn of the Rigveda, Purumīlha and Taranta appear as persons who received gifts from Dhvasra and Puru- isanti, and as sons of Vidadaśva. The legend, which also occurs in the śātyāyanaka, is apparently best explained by Sieg, who says that as the two were kings they could not under the rules of caste accept gifts, unless for the nonce they became singers. The legend has no claim at all, as Oldenberg shows, to validity.
Is the name of a Rsi in a hymn of the Rigveda, an Angirasa, according to the Rigvedic Anukramam (Index), but according to the Pañcavimśa Brāhmana a Vaikhānasa.
Occurs in a Vālakhilya hymn of the Rigveda as the name of a man. He is also mentioned in the śānkhāyana śrauta Sūtra as a patron of Praskaçva, and called Prṣadhra Medhya Mātariśvan (or Mātariśva); but for once there is a discrepancy between the statement of the Sūtra and the text of the Rigveda, for the hymns there attributed to Praskaṇva as in praise of Prṣadhra have nothing in them connected with Prṣadhra, while the Anukramanī (Index) ascribes to Prṣadhra himself the authorship of one of them. On the other hand, Medhya and Mātariśvan appear as separate persons in the Rigveda along with Pṛṣadhra.
Descendant of Piñga,’ is the name of a teacher who is repeatedly mentioned as an authority in the Kausītaki Brāhmaria, where also his doctrine is called the Paiñgya. This teacher is further referred to in the śatapatha Brāhmana, which also speaks of Madhuka Paiñgya. It is, of course, impossible to say whether there was only one Paiñgya or several Paiñgyas. The followers of Paiñgya are called Paiñgins in the Nidāna and Anupada Sūtras. His text-book is called Paiñga in the Anupada Sūtra, while the Ápastamba śrauta Sūtra mentions a Paiñgāyani Brāhmaria. It is clear that Paiñgya was a teacher of a Rigveda school allied to the Kausītakis. Paiñgi is a patronymic of Yāska in the Anukramaṇī of the Átreyī śākhā.
Is the name of a Rsi who is credited by the Anukramam (Index) with the authorship of certain hymns of the Rigveda, where he is mentioned several times. The statement in the śāñkhāyana śrauta Sūtra that he obtained bounty from Ppsadhra Medhya Mātariśvan is apparently a blunder.
(‘ having a guest at the sacrifice ’) appear to be the names of one and the same man, a descendant of Kaṇva and a famous Vedic Rṣi, to whom the authorship of various hymns is attributed in the Anukramaṇī (Index). To him Indra is said in the Rigveda to have come in the form of a ram: this myth is perpetuated in the Subrahmaṇyā formula recited by the priest while the Soma is being carried within the sacrificial enclosure, when Indra is hailed as ‘ram of Medhātithi.’ He appears also as a rival of Vatsa, whom he accused of low birth, but who convinced him of his error by undergoing a fire ordeal {cf Divya). In the Atharvaveda he is mentioned with many other sages, and occurs elsewhere also as a sage.
Is credited by the Anukramanī (Index) with the authorship of a number of hymns of the Rigveda. This attribution is supported by the occurrence in this group of the name of the seer, and once of his family, the Vimadas, besides the repeated refrain vi vo made, ‘in your carouses.’ Vimada is occasionally alluded to later.
Is the name of a Rṣi mentioned in two passages of the Rigveda, and as a friend of Indra in the Pañcaviipśa Brāhmana. According to the Anukramaṇl (Index), he was a descendant of Vyaśva, and the author of certain hymns.
The Anukramaṇī (Index) of the Rigveda ascribes a hymn of that text to the śārñgas, Jaritṛ, Droṇa, Sārisṛkva, and Stambamitra. The Mahābhārata contains a tale describing how the four śārñgas, sons of the Rṣi Mandapāla, were saved from the great fire in the Khāṇdava forest by means of prayers. Sieg has attempted to use this tale for the elucidation of the hymn in question, but without substantial success. As Oldenberg says, the tale is based on the hymn rather than vice versa.
Occurs in one passage of the Rigveda, where the name of a man may possibly be meant, the Anukramaṇī (Index) ascribing the hymn in which the word occurs to his authorship. Yāska, however, renders the term by ‘cloud.’
Is the name of a man mentioned several times in the Rigveda. The Anukramanī (Index) assigns to him a series of hymns in the fifth, eight, and ninth books. In one of the hymns śyāvāśva mentions, apparently as his patrons, Taranta (a son of Vidadaśva) and Purumīlha, as well as Rathavīti. On this hymn is based a legend found in the Bṛhaddevatā, that he was the son of Arcanānas, who was sacrificing for Rathavīti Dālbhya. The father was anxious to obtain the king’s daughter for his son in marriage; but though the father was willing, his wife insisted on her son-in-law being a Rṣi. The father and son, repulsed, were returning home, when they met on the way Taranta and Purumīdha, former patrons of the father. These showed him respect, while Taranta’s wife, śaśīyasī, presented śyāvāśva with much wealth. The son was then fortunate enough to meet the Maruts in the forest, and praised them, thus becoming a seer. As a result the king himself ultimately offered his daughter to śyāvāśva. Sieg seeks to show that this legend is presupposed in the Rigveda; but it is difficult to accept this view, since the references in the Rigveda are very obscure, and śaśīyasī is probably no more than an epithet. That there is some Itihāsa at the back of the hymn is clear: what it is can hardly now be determined. śyāvāśva's obtaining gifts from Vaidadaśvi is referred to also in the śāñkhāyana śrauta Sūtra. His name occurs in the Atharvaveda in two lists of persons, of which the former includes Purumīdha, the latter also Arcanānas and Atri. A Sāman is ascribed to him in the Pañcavimśa Brāhmaṇa, and he is perhaps referred to in the Taittirīya Araṇyaka. In the śānkhāyana śrauta Sūtra and the Pañcaviφśa Brāhmana he is styled Arcanānasa, ‘ son of Arcanānas,’ and later he is called Atreya, ‘descendant of Atri.’
Is mentioned once in the Rigveda as the Rṣi of a hymn, the authorship of which the Anukramaṇī (Index) ascribes to him. A Sāman or chant of his is mentioned in the Pañcavimśa Brāhmaṇa.
Is credited by the Anukramaṇī (Index) with the authorship of certain hymns of the Rigveda. The word does not occur in those hymns, but it appears as an adjective (‘ carrying away Soma ’) elsewhere,2 and may, in a second passage,3 by a conjecture4 be taken as a man’s name.
Denotes in the Upaniṣads the sound of a vowel: these are described as being ghosavant, ‘sonant,’ and also as balavant, ‘ uttered with force.’ The precise word for a mute is sparśa, ‘ contact,’ while ūsman denotes a ‘sibilant,’ and svara a ‘vowel,’ in the Aitareya and śāñkhāyana Áraṇyakas. The semivowels are there denoted by anta-sthā (‘intermediate’) or aksara. Another division in the Aitareya Aranyaka is into ghosa, ūsman, and vyañjana, apparently ‘vowels,’ ‘ sibilants,’ and ‘consonants’ respectively. Ghosa elsewhere in that Aranyaka seems to have the general sense of ‘sounds.’ The Taittirlya Upaniṣad refers to mātrā, a ‘ mora ’; bala, ‘ force ’ of utterance, and varna, ‘letter,’ an expression found elsewhere in the explanation of om, as compacted of a + u -f- in. The Aitareya Araṇyaka and the śāñkhāyana Araṇyaka recognize the three forms of the Rigveda text as pratrnna, nirbhuja, and'ubhayain-antarena, denoting respectively the Sarphitā, Pada, and Krama Pāthas of the Rigveda. The same authorities recognize the importance of the distinction of the cerebral and dental n and s, and refer to the Māṇdūkeyas’ mode of recitation. They also discuss Sandhi, the euphonic ‘combination’ of letters. The Prātiśākhyas of the several Samhitās develop in detail the grammatical terminology, and Yāska's Nirukta contains a good deal of grammatical material. The śatapatha Brāhmaṇa distinguishes the genders, and the Pañcaviφśa Brāhmana the division of words in the Sāman recitation.
Is the name of a man in the Rigveda and in the śatapatha Brāhmaṇa. He is called an Áñgirasa in the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa, which credits him with the authorship of a Rigvedic hymn. The Anukramaṇī (Index) ascribes to him several other hymns.
