Vedic Reference
EnglishŚyāparṇa Sāyakāyana is the name of a man, the last for
whom five victims were slain at the building of the sacrificial
altar according to the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa.^1 The same text^2
again mentions him as a builder of the fire-altar. He must
have been connected in some way with the Salvas.^3 His
family, the Śyāparṇas, appear in the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa^4 as a
self-assertive family of priests whom king Viśvantara excluded
from his sacrifice, but whose leader, Rāma Mārgaveya, induced
him to take them back. In some way Śyāparṇa was connected
with the defeat of the Pañcālas by the Kuntis.^5
