पुराणम्
English
सुबन्धु / SUBANDHU. An ācārya, who was the high priest of King Asamāti. Once the King removed the priest from his job and appointed two priests, kirāta and Ākuli in his stead, and after some time, the new priests, at the instance of the King, killed subandhu. But, three brothers of his joined together and brought subandhu back to life again by chanting hymns from the Vedas. (ṛgveda 10, 57. 60
Bṛhaddevatā. 7. 33).
Vedic Reference
English
Su-bandhu in the hymns of the Rigveda^1 is taken by Sāyaṇa
to be a proper name
but this is not certain, Roth^2 seeing in
the passages only an ordinary noun meaning ‘a good friend.’
The later tradition^3 explains that Subandhu and his brothers,
called Gaupāyanas, were priests of Asamāti, who cast them off
and took two others, Kirāta and Ākuli. By these two in
pigeon form Subandhu was caused to swoon, but was revived
by his three brothers, who recited certain hymns.^4
