Asita-mṛga is the designation in the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa^1
of a family of the Kaśyapas who were excluded from a sacrifice
by Janamejaya, but who took away the conduct of the offering
from the Bhūtavīras, whom the king employed. In the
Jaiminīya Brāhmaṇa^2 and the Ṣaḍviṃsa Brāhmaṇa^3 the Asita-
mṛgas are called ‘sons of the Kaśyapas, and one is mentioned
as Kusurubindu^4 Auddālaki.
