The Vṛṣṇi origin of Vāsudeva is apparently hinted at in a Mora stone slab inscription of the time of the Great Satrap Rājuvula (first century A.D.).¹ The Vṛishṇis are mentioned in the Ashṭādhyāyī of Pāṇini² and in the Arthaśāstra attributed to Kauṭilya.³ Scions of the family are apparently mentioned in the Taittirīya Saṁhitā,⁴ the Taittirīya Brāhmaṇa,⁵ the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa⁶ and the Jaiminīya Upanishad Brāhmaṇa.⁷
