medha	Is a word of uncertain sense occurring in a Vālakhilya hymn of the Rigveda. According to the St. Petersburg Dictionary, the proper name of a sacrificer may be meant.

aśvamedha	(‘Offering a horse-sacrifice ’) is a prince mentioned in a hymn of the Rigveda, which contains a Dānastuti (‘ Praise of Gifts ’) of Tryaruna, and to which three verses have been added in praise of Aśvamedha. See also Aśvamedha.

āśvamedha	Is the patronymic of an unnamed prince, who occurs in a Dānastuti (‘ Praise of Gifts ’) in the Rigveda

nṛmedha	Is the name of a protege of Agni in the Rigveda, where he also appears with Sumedhas in a hymn that Griffith with justice declares to be unintelligible. In the Taittirīya Samhitā he is an unsuccessful rival of Parucchepa, and in the Pañcavimśa Brāhmana he is an Añgirasa and a seer of Sāmans (Chants).

priyamedha	Is the name of a seer in the Rigveda, where his family, the Priyamedhas, are also repeatedly alluded to. It is not probable that any hymns are really Priyamedha’s own composition. See also Praiyamedha.

praiyamedha	‘Descendant of Priyamedha,’ is a patronymic of the priests who sacrificed for the Átreya Udamaya in the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa. They appear in the Yajurveda Samhitās as priests who ‘ knew all ’ (sacrificial lore). Three Praiya- medhas are referred to in the Taittirīya Brāhmaṇa. In the Gopatha Brāhmaṇa4 they are called Bharadvājas.

sumedha	Occurs in an obscure hymn of the Rigveda either as an adjective (‘of good understanding’) or a proper name, perhaps identical with Npmedha or his brother.
