v1.c3.s17.505

He was not only a ‘descendant of Trivṛṣan,’ but, according to the Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa,¹³ he was also Traidhātva, ‘descendant of Tridhātu.’ The order of these two predecessors of Tryaruṇa cannot be determined in any way from Vedic literature. According to the later tradition,¹⁴ a prince named Tridhanvan preceded Tryaruṇa in the succession. Vedic tradition further fails to show in what precise relation Trasadasyu stood to Trivṛṣan or Tryaruṇa.
