Vedic Reference
English
Ṛjiśvan is mentioned several times in the Rigveda, ^1 but
always in a vague manner, as if very ancient. He assists
Indra in fights against demoniac figures like Pipru and the
dusky brood (kṛṣṇa-garbhāḥ). According to Ludwig, ^2 he was
called Auśija's son, ^3 but this is doubtful. He is twice^4 clearly
called Vaidathina, or descendant of Vidathin.
