It is difficult to say whether this tradition is correct; it derives some support from the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa (vii. 18), where reference is made to the divine lore (daiva veda) of the Gāthins, which is said to be shared by Śunaḥśepa as a result of his adoption by Viśvāmitra. See Gāthina. - [Previous: v1.c3.s12.212](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s12.212) - [Next: v1.c3.s12.214](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s12.214) - [Up: v1.c3.s12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s12) ## Linked texts (2) - [Aitareyabrāhmaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya.7.18) — Mahidāsa Aitareya, Sanskrit - [Sarvānukramaṇī (Ṛgveda)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.misc.anukramani.katyayana.sarvanukramani) — Kātyāyana (Vājasaneyi sūtrakāra), Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s12.213](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s12.213) · Pramāṇa
