v1.c3.s21.1139

Puru-ṇitha Śāta-vaneya (‘descendant of Śatavani’) is the name of a sacrificer, or perhaps a priest, a Bhāradvāja, in the Rigveda.¹ It is doubtful whether he is also mentioned as a singer in another passage of the Rigveda.² In both places Roth³ sees in Puru-ṇitha merely a word meaning ‘choral song.’
