अस्, m., N. of a learned Brāhman (thought to have

with his elder brother Mādhava, also called Vidyā-
raṇya, who became prime minister to two kings,
Bukka-rāya and Harihara, after having aided them
to found a new capital, called Vijaya-nagara, in the
native kingdom of Karnāṭa about A. D. 1344).

सायण minister of Raṅgarāja (1572--85):
Prāyaścittapaddhati.
सायण son of Māyaṇa, wrote under Bukka I of Vidyā-
nagara (1350--79) and his successor Harihara. He
died in 1387. His numerous works are attributed
by turn to himself, to his brother Mādhava, or Vi-
dyāraṇya. See Burnell's Preface to the Vaṃśabrā-
hmaṇa. He was a pupil of Viṣṇu Sarvajña (Hall
p. 161), and of Śaṅkarānanda (Hall p. 98), and guru
of Rāmakṛṣṇa (Pañcadaśīṭīkā). There can be very
little doubt, and a thorough examination of all
parts enables us to prove, that his comments on
the Ṛgveda and Taittirīyasaṃhitā were only partially
done by himself and carried on by his school. The
interpretation of the Taittirīyabrāhmaṇa, Taittirīyā-
raṇyaka, Aitareyāraṇyaka, shows a want of discretion
which can only be explained on the supposition
that their authorship belongs to a different writer.

पुराणम्
English
सायण / SĀYAṆA. A hermit who was an expounder of the Vedas. In course of time, due to the differences in languages and grammar, the Vedas became difficult to be grasped. It was yāska and sāyaṇa who saved the Indians from this difficulty. For the Vedas to be grasped easily, yāska made the Nirukta (Etymology) and sāyaṇa wrote the Book Vedārthaprakāśa.
