v1.c3.s14.103
Cākra is the name of a man, variously styled Revottaras Sthapati Pāṭava Cākra¹ and Revottaras Pāṭava Cākra Sthapati,² who is mentioned in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa only. He is there said to have been expelled by the Sṛñjayas, but to have restored to them their prince Duṣṭarītu despite the opposition of the Kauravya king Balhika Prātipīya.² He must have been a sage rather than a warrior, as the first passage of the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa¹ shows him in the capacity of a teacher only. *Cf.* Sthapati.
