I may add the following, as it possibly has a bearing here. Vṛiddhadyumna Ábhipratáriṇa (see Ait. Br., iii. 48) was cursed by a Brahman on account of improper sacrifice, to the effect that: \*imam eva prati samaram Kuravaḥ Kurukshetrách chyoshyanta iti\*, Śáṅkh., xv. 16. 12 (and so it came to pass). For the glorification of the Kauravya king Parikshit the four verses, Śáṅkh. Śr., xii. 17. 1-4 (Ath., xx. 127. 7-10), serve; although in Ait. Br., vi. 22 (Śáṅkh. Br., xxx. 5), they are referred to 'fire' or 'year;' but see Gopatha-Br., xi. 12. Another legend respecting Janamejaya Páríkshita is found in the Gopatha-Br., ii. 5. - [Previous: c8.383](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.weber-1878.c8.383) - [Next: c8.385](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.weber-1878.c8.385) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.weber-1878.c8) ## Linked texts (5) - [Kauṣītakibrāhmaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.30.5) — Kauṣītaki, Sanskrit - [Śāṅkhāyanaśrautasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.srauta.sankhayana.15.16.12) — Śāṅkhāyana, Sanskrit - [Aitareyabrāhmaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya.3.48) — Mahidāsa Aitareya, Sanskrit - [Atharvavedasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.samhita.atharva.20.127.7) — Atharvan & Aṅgiras, Sanskrit - [Gopathabrāhmaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.gopatha.2.5) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.weber-1878.c8.384](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.weber-1878.c8.384) · Pramāṇa
