Vedic Reference
EnglishA-rājānaḥ, ‘not princes, ’ is a term used to describe persons
in two passages of the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa, ^1 and in the
Aitareya Brāhmaṇa.^2 Weber^3 also finds them mentioned in the
Atharvaveda, ^4 and thinks that they — Sūtas (‘charioteers’) and
Grāmaṇīs (‘troop-leaders’) there referred to — were called thus
because, while not themselves princes, they assisted in the con-
secration of princes.
