Jaritṛ.—According to Sieg,¹ mention is made in one hymn of the Rigveda² of Jaritṛ, one of the Śārṅgas. That hymn he seeks to bring into connexion with the epic³ tradition of the Ṛṣi Mandapāla, who wedded Jaritā, a female Śārṅga bird—apparently a hen sparrow (caṭakā)—and had four sons. These being abandoned by him and exposed to the danger of being consumed by a forest fire, prayed to Agni with the hymn Rigveda x. 142. This interpretation is very doubtful, though Sāyaṇa⁴ appears to have adopted it. - [Previous: v1.c3.s16.149](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s16.149) - [Next: v1.c3.s16.151](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s16.151) - [Up: v1.c3.s16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s16) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s16.150](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s16.150) · Pramāṇa
