Jānaka is also, according to some manuscripts of the Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad,³ the patronymic of Āyasthūṇa, but is here no doubt a misreading of Jānaki. - [Previous: v1.c3.s16.212](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s16.212) - [Next: v1.c3.s16.214](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s16.214) - [Up: v1.c3.s16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s16) ## Linked texts (3) - [Taittirīyasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.samhita.krsnayajur*taittiriya) — Sanskrit - [Aitareyabrāhmaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya) — Mahidāsa Aitareya, Sanskrit - [Bṛhadāraṇyakopaniṣad](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.brhadaranyaka) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s16.213](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s16.213) · Pramāṇa
