He is also mentioned in the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa³ as having consecrated Durmukha Pāñcāla, and is called Vāmadeva’s son in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa.⁴ In the Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa⁵ he appears as Vāmneya, ‘descendant of Vāmnī.’ Hopkins’⁶ suggestion that he may have been there thought of as Vāmadevya also is quite probable.⁷ - [Previous: v2.c4.s2.192](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s2.192) - [Next: v2.c4.s2.194](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s2.194) - [Up: v2.c4.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s2.193](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s2.193) · Pramāṇa
