वृद्धद्युम्नआभिप्रतारिण (vRddhadyumnaAbhipratAriNa)

 
Vedic Reference
English
Vṛddha-dyumna Ābhipratāriṇa (‘descendant of Abhipra-
tārin’) is the name of a prince (rājanya) in the Aitareya Brāh-
maṇa (iii. 48, 9), where his priest, Śucivṛkṣa Gaupalāyana, is
praised. In the Śāṅkhāyana Śrauta Sūtra (xv, 16, 10-13), on
the contrary, he is said to have erred in the sacrifice, when a
Brahmin prophesied that the result would be the expulsion of
the Kurus from Kurukṣetra, an event which actually came
to pass.
