¹ *Gopatha Brāhmaṇa*, ed. by R. L. Mitra and Harachandra Vidyābhūshaṇa, pp. 25 ff (1. 2. 5). In connection with the legend referred to above we hear of a sage named Dantābala Dhaumra who is identified by some writers with Dantāla Dhaumya of the *Jaiminīya Brāhmaṇa*. The conjecture lacks proof. In the Baudāyana Śrauta Sūtra, Vol. III, p. 449, "Dhumras, Dhumrāyaṇas and Dhaumyas" find separate mention as distinct members of the Kaśyapa group.
