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 | 9 passages | |
|---|---|---|
| Inherited from the hymn | 827 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.

| Yajurveda | Insufficient evidence | not established |
| Atharvaveda | Insufficient evidence | not established |
