Vedic Reference
English
Vaidad-aśvi, ‘descendant of Vidadaśva, is the patronymic of
Taranta in the Rigveda.^1 In the Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa^2 and
the Jaiminīya Brāhmaṇa^3 the Vaidadaśvis are Taranta and
Purumīlha. The latter is not a Vaidadaśvi in the Rigveda, a
clear sign of the worthlessness of the legends relative to these
two men in the Brāhmaṇas.
1) v. 61, 10.
2) xiii. 7, 12. Cf. Śāṭyāyanaka in
Sāyaṇa on Rv. ix. 58, 3.
3) i. 151
iii. 139, where Vaitadaśvi
is the form. Cf. Ārṣeya Brāhmaṇa,
