Vedic Reference
English
Aulāna is a word occurring in a single passage of the
Rigveda, ^1 where it may possibly be a patronymic of Śaṃtanu
as a ‘descendant of Ula.’ Ludwig, ^2 however, conjectures that
the reading should be ‘Kaulāna.’ Sieg^3 regards Aulāna as
a later descendant^4 of Śaṃtanu, who utilized the story of
Devāpi's rain-making as an introduction to his rain hymn.
