v1.c3.s20.332
Nava-vāstva appears in three passages of the Rigveda. In one¹ he seems to be a protégé of Agni; in another² as perhaps a son of Uśanas and favourite of Indra, but in the last he seems to be defeated, or even slain, by Indra.³ But he may be a mythic figure altogether. *Cf.* also Bṛhadratha.
