Asita-mṛga is the designation in the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa¹ of a family of the Kaśyapas who were excluded from a sacrifice by Janamejaya, but who took away the conduct of the offering from the Bhūtavīras, whom the king employed. In the Jaiminīya Brāhmaṇa² and the Ṣaḍviṃśa Brāhmaṇa³ the Asita-mṛgas are called ‘sons of the Kaśyapas,’ and one is mentioned as Kusurubindu⁴ Auddālaki.
