Vedic Reference
English
Daiva-vāta, ‘descendant of Devavāta, ’ is the patronymic of
Sṛñjaya, probably the Sṛñjaya king, in the Rigveda. He is
mentioned^1 as a devotee of the fire cult, and as victorious over
the Turvaśa king and the Vṛcīvants.^2 According to Zimmer, ^3
his name was Abhyāvartin Cāyamāna Pārthava (‘descendant
of Pṛthu’), but Hillebrandt^4 recognizes this as doubtful, though
he none the less places the Sṛñjayas to the west of the Indus
with Divodāsa. What is more important is to note that the
name suggests connexion with the Bharata Devavāta, and as
Kurus and Sṛñjayas were closely connected^5 this is not
immaterial.
