Uśanas Kāvya is an ancient seer, already a half-mythical figure in the Rigveda,¹ where he is often mentioned, especially as associated with Kutsa and Indra. Later on² he becomes the Purohita of the Asuras in their contests with the gods. A variant of his name is Kavi Uśanas.³ He appears in the Brāhmaṇas as a teacher also.⁴
