अर्चनानस् / ARCANĀNAS. A muni born in the Ātreyagotra of the dynasty of atri. He desired to marry rathavīti. But her father had decided to give her in marriage only to a Maharṣi, and, therefore arcanānas became a Maharṣi with the help of the marutta and wedded rathavīti. Maharṣi śyāvāśva was their son.

Arcanānas. — In one passage of the Rigveda^1 the gods Mitra-
Varuṇa are besought to protect Arcanānas. He is also in-
voked with Śyāvāśva and several other ancestors enumerated
in the Atharvaveda.^2 He appears as father of Śyāvāśva in the
Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa.^3 The later tradition makes him play a
part in the legend of his son's wedding, which Sieg^4 endeavours
to show is known to the Rigveda.
