In the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa³ he is styled Hiraṇyanābha, ‘descendant of Hiraṇyanābha,’ and in the Śāṅkhāyana Śrauta Sūtra⁴ he is called Para Āhlāra Vaideha, a fact testifying to the close connexion of Kosala and Videha. A Yajña-gāthā, or ‘sacrificial verse,’ there⁵ cited mentions Hiraṇyanābha Kausalya in connexion with Para. - [Previous: v1.c3.s21.367](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.367) - [Next: v1.c3.s21.369](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.369) - [Up: v1.c3.s21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.368](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.368) · Pramāṇa
