Kuśri Vāja-śravasa appears as a teacher concerned with the lore of the sacred fire in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa,¹ and in the last Vamśa (list of teachers) of the Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad² he is mentioned as a pupil of Vājaśravas. It is not clear whether he is identical with the Kuśri of the last Vamśa of the Bṛhadāraṇyaka³ in the Kāṇva recension, and of the Vamśa in the tenth book of the Śatapatha,⁴ who is mentioned as a pupil of Yajñavacas Rājastambāyana.
