Vedic Reference
English
Balbūtha is mentioned in one hymn of the Rigveda, ^1 along
with Tarukṣa and Pṛthuśravas, as a giver of gifts to the singer.
He is called a Dāsa, but Roth^2 was inclined to amend the text
so as to say that the singer received a hundred Dāsas from
Balbūtha. Zimmer's^3 suggestion that he may have been the
son of an aboriginal mother, or perhaps an aboriginal himself,
seems probable.^4 If this was the case, it would be a clear
piece of evidence for the establishment of friendly relations
between the Āryans and the Dāsas.
