Vedic Reference
English
Puru-ṇītha Śāta-vaneya (‘descendant of Śatavani’) is the
name of a sacrificer, or perhaps a priest, a Bhāradvāja, in the
Rigveda.^1 It is doubtful whether he is also mentioned as a
singer in another passage of the Rigveda.^2 In both places
Roth^3 sees in Puru-ṇītha merely a word meaning ‘choral song.’
