Vedic Reference
English
Bṛhad-uktha is mentioned in an obscure hymn of the
Rigveda^1 as a priest
in two hymns of the tenth Maṇḍala^2 he
is definitely a Ṛṣi. He is also mentioned in the Aitareya
Brāhmaṇa^3 as having consecrated Durmukha Pāñcāla, and
is called Vāmadeva's son in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa.^4 In the
Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa^5 he appears as Vāmneya, ‘descendant
of Vāmnī.’ Hopkins^6 suggestion that he may have been there
thought of as Vāmadevya also is quite probable.^7
