AITAREYA
I.
A
great
scholar
with
profound
knowledge
of
the
Vedas.
Being
a
non-brahmin
he
was
not
able
to
learn
the
Vedas
from
a
guru.
In
spite
of
this
handicap
he
acquired
considerable
scholarship
and
wrote
a
learned
commentary
on
the
ṛgveda.
This
commentary
ranks
high
among
the
various
commentaries
on
the
Vedas.

AITAREYA
II.
Son
of
Sage,
Māṇḍuki
by
his
first
wife,
Itarā.
Being
the
son
of
Itarā
he
came
to
be
called
aitareya.
As
a
boy
he
was
very
pious
and
used
to
chant
the
mantra
“Namo
Bhagavate
Vāsudevāya”
frequently.
But
he
was
a
shy
and
silent
boy
and
his
father
mistook
his
silence
to
be
a
sign
of
stupidity.
Dissatisfied
with
him
and
being
desirous
of
having
learned
sons,
Māṇḍuki
married
another
woman
named
Piṅgā
and
had
four
sons
by
her
who
all
became
very
learned.
Once
Itarā
called
her
son
and
told
him
that
his
father
regarded
him
as
an
unworthy
son
and
was
often
twitting
her
using
insulting
words
for
having
given
birth
to
so
unworthy
a
son.
She
then
told
him
of
her
resolve
to
sacrifice
her
life.
aitareya
then
made
an
enlightening
discourse
to
her
and
dissuaded
her
from
her
determination
to
commit
suicide.
Some
time
later
Lord
viṣṇu
appeared
before
them
and
blessed
the
mother
and
son.
On
the
advice
of
viṣṇu
aitareya
participated
in
the
yajña
conducted
by
hari-
medhya
at
koṭitīrtha
and
there
he
made
a
learned
speech
on
the
Vedas.
Harimedhya
was
so
pleased
with
him
that
he
gave
his
daughter
in
marriage
to
him.

and

).
Aitareya,
perhaps
a
patronymic
from
Itara,
though
the
commentator
Sāyaṇa^1
regards
the
word
as
a
metronymic
from
Itarā,
is
an
epithet
of
Mahidāsa
in
the
Aitareya
Āraṇyaka^2
and
the
Chāndogya
Upaniṣad.^3
