Vedic Reference
EnglishAsamāti Rātha-prauṣṭha. — The story of the quarrel between
Asamāti, the Ikṣvāku prince of the Rathaproṣṭha family, and
his priests, the Gaupāyanas, is found only in the later
Brāhmaṇas.^1 It appears to be based on a misreading of the
Rigveda, ^2 where asamāti is merely an adjective. The later
story is that the king was induced to abandon his family priests
by two Asuras, Kirāta and Ākuli, who by their magic com-
passed the death of Subandhu, one of the brother priests, and
that the others revived him by the use of the hymns (Rigveda,
x. 57-60).
