The name is certainly found in the Baudhāyana Dharma Sūtra.² - [Previous: v2.c4.s7.21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s7.21) - [Next: v2.c4.s7.23](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s7.23) - [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.s7.22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s7.22) · Pramāṇa
