In two other passages³ he is referred to only as a Ṛṣi of the past, and Oldenberg⁴ points out that none of his own work appears in the Saṃhitā. The Rigveda also mentions⁵ the Vyaśvas, with whom Ludwig⁶ is inclined to connect Vaśa Aśvya. An Āṅgirasa Vyaśva occurs as a seer of Sāmans or Chants in the Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa.⁷ - [Previous: v2.c4.s7.1369](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s7.1369) - [Next: v2.c4.s7.1371](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s7.1371) - [Up: v2.c4.s7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s7.1370](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s7.1370) · Pramāṇa
