v1.c3.482

Abhy-agni Aitaśāyana.—This man was, according to the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa,¹ unfortunate enough to quarrel with his father, Aitaśa. The result was that he and his progeny were called the worst of the Aurvas. In the version of the Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇa,² the Aitaśāyana Ājāneyas take the place of the Abhyagnis and the Bhṛgus of the Aurvas, the latter being probably a branch of the former family.
