Vedic Reference
English
Sapta-mānuṣa is found in one passage of the Rigveda^1 as an
epithet of Agni, ‘belonging to the seven tribes.’ Hopkins^2
thinks that this is a reference to the seven ‘family’ books of
the Rigveda (ii.-viii.), but this seems less likely than the view of
Roth, ^3 that saptamānuṣa is equivalent to vaiśvānara.
