Vedic Reference
English
Nṛ-medha, ^1 Nṛ-medhas, ^2 is the name of a protégé of Agni
in the Rigveda, ^3 where he also appears with Sumedhas in a
hymn that Griffith^4 with justice declares to be unintelligible.
In the Taittirīya Saṃhitā^1 he is an unsuccessful rival of
Parucchepa, and in the Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa^2 he is an
Āṅgirasa and a seer of Sāmans (Chants).
