Vedic Reference
English
Pra-tardana is the name in the Kāṭhaka Saṃhitā^1 of a king
who had a Bharadvāja for his Purohita. In the Kauṣītaki
Brāhmaṇa^2 he appears as arriving at the sacrifice of the Ṛṣis in
the Naimiṣa forest, and asking them how errors in the sacrifice
could be remedied
and as finding Alīkayu Vācaspata, the
Brahman priest at the sacrifice, unable to say what was to be
done. In the Kauṣītaki Upaniṣad^3 it is said that Pratardana
Daivodāsi went to Indra's world through his death in battle.
The patronymic connects him with Divodāsa, the ancestor or
father of Sudās, and the mention of Bharadvāja (probably ‘a
Bharadvāja’ is meant) as his priest supports the patronymic,
for Divodāsa is a special favourite of the singers of the Bharad-
vāja family. The name, moreover, is reminiscent of the
Tṛtsus (the root tard appears in both) and of the Pratṛdaḥ (see
Pratṛd). But he is not in Vedic literature a king of Kāśi.^4
Geldner^5 regards him as Divodāsa's son, but this is not likely.
Cf. Prātardani.
