पृथुरश्मि / PṚTHURAŚMI. One of those who are named ‘Yati’. The Yatis were a people of anti-yajña feelings and were all burnt to death in Indra's fire of wrath. But three yatis, bṛhadgiri, Rayovāja and pṛthuraśmi were taken care of by indra and indra taught them Brahmavidyā, Kṣatriyavidyā and Vaiśyavidyā.
pṛthuraśmi compelled indra to grant him Kṣātratejas also along with Kṣātravidyā. There is now a sāma even in the name of pṛthuraśmi. (Pañca-viṁśa-brāhmaṇa).
