Dyutāna Māruta (‘descendant of the Maruts’) is the name of a divine being invoked in the Vājasaneyi Saṃhitā¹ and the Taittirīya Saṃhitā,² and also mentioned in the Kāṭhaka Saṃhitā.³ In the Śatapatha⁴ Brāhmaṇa the name is explained to mean Vāyu, while in the Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa⁵ he seems to be regarded as the author of a Sāman (chant). He is treated as a Ṛṣi by the Anukramaṇī, which credits him with the authorship of a hymn of the Rigveda (viii. 96).
