Vedic Reference
EnglishDasyave vṛka, ‘wolf to the Dasyu, ’ is the name of a man
mentioned four times in the Rigveda.^1 In one hymn^2 he is
called a Ṛṣi, but in two others^3 he is clearly a prince victorious
over the Dasyus, and a generous patron of the singer. It is
hardly necessary to assume different persons, ^4 for the term Ṛṣi
is not altogether inconsistent with royalty. He was son of
Pūtakratu^5 and Pūtakratā, ^6 his wife.
