In other passages where the patronymic occurs alone, it is doubtful who is meant, or whether a proper name at all is intended.⁵ Kakṣīvant Auśija appears also in the Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa⁶ and elsewhere. - [Previous: v1.c3.s10.55](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s10.55) - [Next: v1.c3.s10.57](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s10.57) - [Up: v1.c3.s10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s10) ## Linked texts (2) - [Ṛgvedasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.samhita.rg.1.18.1) — Sanskrit - [Pañcaviṃśabrāhmaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.pancavimsa) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s10.56](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s10.56) · Pramāṇa
