Vedic Reference
English
Aurṇa-vābha, ‘descendant of Ūrṇavābhi.’ (1) This is the
name of a pupil of Kauṇḍinya mentioned in a Vaṃśa (list of
teachers) of the Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad.^1 (2) A teacher
of this name is frequently referred to in the Nirukta. His
explanations in two passages^2 agree with those of the Nairuktas
or etymological school of interpreters of the Rigveda. In other
passages^3 he appears rather to belong to the school of the
Aitihāsikas, who relied on traditional legends. He was thus
probably, as Sieg^4 suggests, an eclectic.
