Vedic Reference
English
Nārṣada, ‘descendant of Nṛṣad, ’ is the patronymic of Kaṇva
(i.e., a descendant of Kaṇva) in the Atharvaveda, ^1 and in one
passage of the Rigveda, ^2 where probably the same man is
referred to in another passage^3 as a protégé of the Aśvins, and
perhaps as the husband of Ruśatī. But in a third passage of
the Rigveda^4 the name seems applied to a demon, though this
is not certain.
