As a name in the seer apparatus
Recorded as a seer in the traditional apparatus. Most such records are hymn headings rather than verse-by-verse statements, and the split below shows which.
How the attribution was recorded
Passages carrying this name, split by whether the source states it for the verse or a hymn heading was projected downward.
| Stated by the source | Insufficient evidence | not established |
|---|---|---|
| Inherited from the hymn | 529 passages |
- Inherited from the hymn the hymn heading projected onto every verse inside it
The two are never summed: a statement of the text and a projection of this build are different claims.
Reach by collection
Passages attributed to this name in each corpus.
This layer reaches Rigveda. A collection absent from that list has no coverage here, which is not the same as the name being absent from it.
| Rigveda | 529 | |
|---|---|---|
| Samaveda | Not yet modelled | not established |
| Yajurveda | Insufficient evidence | not established |
| Atharvaveda | Insufficient evidence | not established |
Family
Insufficient evidenceNot established from current evidence. The apparatus records this name as theonymic descent, so no family is asserted rather than none existing.
