vaitahavya

‘Descendant of Vītahavya,’ is the name of a family who are said in the Atharvaveda to have come to ruin because they devoured a Brahmin’s cow. They are said to be Spñjayas, but as the exact form of the legend here referred to does not occur elsewhere, its authenticity is open to some doubt. According to Zimmer, Vaitahavya is a mere epithet of the Sṛñjayas, but this is not probable in view of the existence of a Vītahavya.
