Vedic Reference
English
Upama-śravas is mentioned in a hymn of the Rigveda^1 as
a son of Kuruśravaṇa, and grandson of Medhātithi. The
exact force of the reference to him in however, uncertain.
According to the Bṛhaddevatā, ^2 followed by Ludwig, ^3 and by
Lanman, ^4 the poet in the hymn consoles Upamaśravas for the
death of his grandfather, Medhātithi. Geldner, ^5 on the other
hand, thinks that the poet, who was Kavaṣa Ailūṣa, was
ill-treated by his patron's son, Upamaśravas, and cast into
a ditch or well, where he uttered his complaint and appeal for
mercy. But of this there is no adequate evidence, and the
tradition of the Bṛhaddevatā seems sound.
