v2.c4.660

Pra-skaṇva is the name of a Ṛṣi who is credited by the Anukramaṇī (Index) with the authorship of certain hymns of the Rigveda,¹ where² he is mentioned several times. The statement in the Śāṅkhāyana Śrauta Sūtra³ that he obtained bounty from Pṛṣadhra Medhya Mātariśvan is apparently a blunder.⁴
