Vedic Reference
English
Prati-pra-sthātṛ is the name of a priest (Ṛtvij), one of the
assistants of the Adhvaryu, in the later Saṃhitās and the
Brāhmaṇas.^1 He is not mentioned in the Rigveda, ^2 but
mention is once made in that Saṃhitā^3 of the two Adhvaryus.
These may have meant, as later, the Adhvaryu and the Prati-
prasthātṛ. Oldenberg, ^4 however, thinks that the Adhvaryu and
the Agnīdh are intended, a conjecture for which there is some
authority.^5
