c28.s2.t5.22

Here may be noticed some of the descendants of Vadhryaśva and Divodāsa. Parucchepa Daivodāsi, the reputed author of Rigveda i, 127 to 139 would seem to have been alive with Divodāsa (130, 7) and would therefore have been his son or grandson; and his son or descendant was Anānata, the reputed author of ix, 111. Pratardana Daivodāsi, the reputed author of ix, 96, would seem to have been a near descendant of Divodāsa. Sumitra Vādhryaśva, the author of x, 69 and 70, was a contemporary of king Cyavana Pijavana (p. 120). All these were probably Bhārgavas, as were Vadhryaśva and Divodāsa.
