पुराणम्
English
युक्ताश्व / YUKTĀŚVA. A sage who was a Sāmavedin. There is a story about this sage in Pañcaviṁśa brāhmaṇa:-yuktāśva who was a scholar in Vedas and Śāstras once abducted two new-born babies and killed them. As a result of that sin, he lost all his Vedic knowledge. To recover his lost learning, he started an austere tapas. After many years of tapas, he got back the whole of his Vedic knowledge.
Vedic Reference
English
Yuktāśva is the name of a man who is mentioned in the
Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa^1 as the seer of a Sāman, or chant. He
is said to have exposed a pair of twins, ^2 but Hopkins^3 thinks
that the reference is only to an exchange of children.
