Ud-aṅka Śaulbāyana.—His views on Brahman, which he identified with the vital airs (*prāṇa*), are mentioned in the Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad (iv. 1, 3). He would thus have been a contemporary of Janaka of Videha. He is also mentioned in the Taittirīya Saṃhitā (vii. 5, 4, 2) as holding that the Daśarātra ceremony was the prosperity or best part of the Sattra (‘sacrificial session’).
