Vedic Reference
EnglishSatvant is the name of a people who are stated in the
Aitareya Brāhmaṇa^1 to belong to the south. In the Śatapatha
Brāhmaṇa^2 the defeat by Bharata of the Satvants, and his
taking away the horse which they had prepared for an Aśva-
medha (‘horse sacrifice’), are referred to: this reference clearly
shows that in another passage of the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa^3 the
text must be altered from satvanām to Satvatām, ‘of the Sat-
vants, ’ against whom it seems the Bharatas made regular raids.
The name has also been found by the St. Petersburg Dictionary,
Cowell, and Max Müller in the Kauṣītaki Upaniṣad, ^4 but it is
certain^5 that the reading there is not Satvan-Matsyeṣu, but
sa-Vaśa-Matsyeṣu.
