Vedic Reference
EnglishPara Āṭṇāra (‘descendant of Aṭṇāra’) appears in the later
Saṃhitās^1 and the Brāhmaṇas^2 as one of the ancient great
kings who won sons by performing a particular sacrifice. In
the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa^3 he is styled Hairaṇyanābha, ‘de-
scendant of Hiraṇyanābha, ’ and in the Śāṅkhāyana Śrauta
Sūtra^4 he is called Para Āhlāra Vaideha, a fact testifying to
the close connexion of Kosala and Videha. A Yajña-gāthā,
or ‘sacrificial verse, ’ there^5 cited mentions Hiraṇyanābha
Kausalya in connexion with Para.
