v1.c3.s11.736

Kṛśa is mentioned with Saṃvarta as a pious sacrificer to Indra in one of the Vālakhilya hymns of the Rigveda¹ and in another² as a speaker of truth, while a third is traditionally³ ascribed to his authorship. He seems also to be mentioned with Śayu as a protégé of the Aśvins in another hymn of the Rigveda,⁴ but here the word may merely denote the ‘feeble man.’⁵
