Etaśa is in the Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇa¹ the name of a sage who is said to have cursed his children because they interrupted him in the midst of a rite; hence the Aitaśāyanas (descendants of Etaśa) are declared to be the worst of the Bhṛgus. The same story appears in the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa,² where, however, the sage’s name is Aitaśa, and the Aitaśāyanas are described as the worst of the Aurvas. - [Previous: v1.c3.s7.35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s7.35) - [Next: v1.c3.s7.37](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s7.37) - [Up: v1.c3.s7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s7.36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s7.36) · Pramāṇa
