Mahabharata
EnglishVaitahavya, pl. (ºāḥ) (“the sons of Vītahavya”). § 736b (Vītahavyop.): XIII, 30, 1965, 1974, 1976, 1978 (fought with the Kāśi kings Sudeva and Divodāsa).
Vedic Reference
EnglishVaitahavya, ‘descendant of Vītahavya, ’ is the name of a
family who are said in the Atharvaveda^1 to have come to ruin
because they devoured a Brahmin's cow. They are said to be
Sṛñjayas, but as the exact form of the legend here referred to
does not occur elsewhere, its authenticity is open to some
doubt.^2 According to Zimmer, ^3 Vaitahavya is a mere epithet
of the Sṛñjayas, but this is not probable^4 in view of the
existence of a Vītahavya.
