In the Rigveda¹ he is clearly a divinity of some kind, but in the later Samhitās² and the Brāhmaṇas³ he is metamorphosed into a teacher. In the Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa⁴ he is by oversight called an Āṅgirasa. - [Previous: v1.c3.s18.45](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s18.45) - [Next: v1.c3.s18.47](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s18.47) - [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.s18.46](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s18.46) · Pramāṇa
