2. Vatsa occurs several times in the Rigveda¹ as the name of a singer, a son or descendant of Kaṇva. In the Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa² he is said to have passed successfully through a fire ordeal to which he resorted for the purpose of proving to his rival, Medhātithi, the purity of his descent. He is also mentioned in the Śāṅkhāyana Śrauta Sūtra³ as the recipient of bounty from Tirindara Pāraśavya.
