The legend, which also occurs in the Śātyāyanaka,¹¹ is apparently best explained by Sieg,¹² who says that as the two were kings they could not under the rules of caste accept gifts, unless for the nonce they became singers. The legend has no claim at all, as Oldenberg¹³ shows, to validity. - [Previous: v1.c3.s21.1160](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.1160) - [Next: v1.c3.s21.1162](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.1162) - [Up: v1.c3.s21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21) ## Cites (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.s21.1161](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.1161) · Pramāṇa
