Śvaitreya occurs in two passages of the Rigveda, where Sāyaṇa sees in the word the name of a man, a ‘descendant of Śvitrā.’ The first passage is almost identical with one in the sixth Maṇḍala of the Rigveda, where, however, Daśadyu appears alone without Śvaitreya. Ludwig identifies Daśadyu with Śvaitreya (‘son of Śvitrī’), and considers him a son of Kutsa. Bergaigne and Baunack think he is really Bhujyu. Geldner considers that he was a bull used for fighting, the son of a Śvitrā cow, but this is very doubtful, though the term śvaitreya is elsewhere applied to a bull. Śvitrya seems to have the same sense as Śvaitreya.
