In one passage of the Rigveda² an Auśija,³ a merchant (vaṇij), is mentioned as dīrgha-śravas, which may be a proper name, as Sāyaṇa holds, or an adjective, as it is understood by Roth.⁴ - [Previous: v1.c3.s18.454](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s18.454) - [Next: v1.c3.s18.456](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s18.456) - [Up: v1.c3.s18](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s18) ## Linked texts (2) - [Pañcaviṃśabrāhmaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.pancavimsa) — Sanskrit - [Ṛgvedasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.samhita.rg) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s18.455](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s18.455) · Pramāṇa
