v2.c37.59

177 G. Hāldār refers to Sāyaṇa ad Ṛgveda 2.33.4 (Rudra is addressed as bhiṣaktama), Vājasaneyisaṃhitā 16.5 (the Śatarudrīya, which mentions the prathama daivya bhiṣaj) and Taittirīyasaṃhitā 4.5.1 (the beginning of the Śatarudrīya, also mentioning the prathama daivya bhiṣaj). He interprets the pitāmaha of A.s.Sū.1.1 as not indicating Vāgbhaṭa’s grandfather, but, instead, Brahmā, and sees the -ādi of pitāmahādi as referring to Dakṣa, the Aśvins, Indra, etc.
