Asita-mṛga is the designation in the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa¹

of a family of the Kaśyapas who were excluded from a sacrifice

by Janamejaya, but who took away the conduct of the offering

from the Bhūtavīras, whom the king employed. In the

Jaiminīya Brāhmaṇa² and the Ṣaḍviṃsa Brāhmaṇa³ the Asita-

mṛgas are called ‘sons of the Kaśyapas,’ and one is mentioned

as Kusurubindu⁴ Auddālaki. [Footnote] 1) vii. 27. Cf. Eggeling, Sacred Books

of the East, 43, 345. [Footnote] 2) i. 75. [Footnote] 3) i. 4. [Footnote] 4) Variously read as Asurbinda,

Kusurbinda, Kusurubinda.
