Vedic Reference

English

 Vamraka is mentioned in one passage of the Rigveda, ^1 where
Roth^2 thinks that an ‘ant’ is meant. But Pischel, ^3 with more
probability,  thinks that it is a proper name,  perhaps equivalent
to Vamra,  and denoting the child of a maiden who was saved
from being devoured by ants.^4
