Vedic Reference
English
Vaiśanta is the name in the Rigveda^1 of a prince whose
offering Indra is said to have deserted for that of Sudās through
the aid of the Vasiṣṭhas. Ludwig^2 thinks that the name is
Veśanta, and that he was a priest of the Pṛthu-Parśus
Griffith^3 says that probably a river is meant, but neither of
these views is plausible.
