Avatsāra is mentioned as a seer in the Rigveda,¹ as a priest

in the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa,² and as Prāsravaṇa (or Prāśravaṇa),

son of Prasravaṇa, in the Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇa.³ A hymn of

the Rigveda⁴ is incorrectly ascribed to him in the Anukramaṇī. [Footnote] 1) v. 44. 10. [Footnote] 2) ii. 24. [Footnote] 3) xiii. 3. [Footnote] 4) ix. 58. Cf. Ludwig, Translation of

the Rigveda, 3, 138; Weber, Indische

Studien, 1, 188; 2, 315; Sieg, Die

Sagenstoffe des Ṛgveda, 62, et seq.
