कुश्रिवाजश्रवस (kuzrivAjazravasa)

 
Vedic Reference
English
Kuśri Vāja-śravasa appears as a teacher concerned with the
lore of the sacred fire in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa, ^1 and in the
last Vaṃśa (list of teachers) of the Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad^2
he is mentioned as a pupil of Vājaśravas. It is not clear
whether he is identical with the Kuśri of the last Vaṃśa of the
Bṛhadāraṇyaka^3 in the Kāṇva recension, and of the Vaṃśa in
the tenth book of the Śatapatha, ^4 who is mentioned as a pupil
of Yajñavacas Rājastambāyana.
1) x. 5, 5. 1.
2) vi. 4, 33 (Mādhyaṃdina = vi. 5, 3,
Kāṇva).
3) vi. 5, 4 (Kāṇva only).
4) x. 6, 5, 9. In the Vaṃśas the name
is accented Kúśri, but in x. 5, 5, 1, as
Kuśrī
no stress can, however, be laid
on this. Cf. Weber, Indische Studien,
