Vedic Reference
English
Vīta-havya is the name of a prince who is mentioned in the
Rigveda^1 along with Bharadvāja, and as a contemporary of
Sudās, ^2 though in both passages it is possible to understand the
word as a mere adjective. In the Atharvaveda^3 Vītahavya
appears as connected with Jamadagni and Asita, but it is clear
that the legend there has no value. It is possible, though not
certain, that he was a king of the Sṛṇjayas.^4 In the Yajurveda
Saṃhitās^5 a Vītahavya Śrāyasa appears as a king: he may be
identical with the Vītahavya of the Rigveda, or belong to the
same line. Cf. Vaitahavya.

Pañcaviṃśa
Brāhmaṇa, xxv. 16, 3. Ibid., ix. 1, 9,
he is represented as being niruddha,
apparently in ‘banishment’
but the
scholiast explains him as not a king,
but a Ṛṣi, which is quite possible.
