Vedic Reference
English
Pra-stotṛ is the name of an assistant of the Udgātṛ priest
who sings the Prastāva, ^1 or prelude of the Sāman chant. His
not being mentioned by name in the Rigveda is merely an
accident, for he is clearly referred to in one passage, ^2 and in the
later literature^3 he is a frequent figure. Ludwig^4 erroneously
thinks that Praśāstṛ is the earlier name of the Prastotṛ.
