Vedic Reference

English

 Praiya-medha,  ‘descendant of Priyamedha, ’ is a patronymic
of the priests who sacrificed for the Ātreya Udamaya in the
Aitareya Brāhmaṇa.^1 They appear in the Yajurveda Saṃhitās^2
as priests who ‘knew all’ (sacrificial lore). Three Praiya-
medhas are referred to in the Taittirīya Brāhmaṇa.^3 In the
Gopatha Brāhmaṇa^4 they are called Bharadvājas.
