Vedic Reference
English
Pra-skaṇva is the name of a Ṛṣi who is credited by the
Anukramaṇī (Index) with the authorship of certain hymns of
the Rigveda, ^1 where^2 he is mentioned several times. The
statement in the Śāṅkhāyana Śrauta Sūtra^3 that he obtained
bounty from Pṛṣadhra Medhya Mātariśvan is apparently a
blunder.^4
