v2.c4.s8.302

Śaryāta is mentioned once in the Rigveda¹ as a protégé of the Aśvins. Of him in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa² and the Jaiminīya Brāhmaṇa³ is told a story how Cyavana was annoyed by the Śāryātas, and appeased by the gift of Sukanyā, Śaryāta’s daughter, as a wife, and how Cyavana was then restored to youth by the Aśvins. He is there called Mānava (‘descendant of Manu’). He appears also as Śaryāta Mānava, a sacrificer, in the Jaiminīya Upaniṣad Brāhmaṇa.⁴
