v2.c4.821

Proti Kauśāmbeya Kausuru-bindi (‘descendant of Kusuru-binda’) is mentioned in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa¹ as a pupil and contemporary of Uddālaka. In the Taittirīya Saṃhitā,² on the other hand, Kusurubinda is called Auddālaki, ‘descendant of Uddālaka,’ a fact which seems to indicate that little value is to be attached to these patronymics and allegations of contemporaneousness.
