Caikitāneya (‘descendant of Cekitāna’) is mentioned as a teacher in the Jaiminīya Upaniṣad Brāhmaṇa. The Caikitāneyas are also referred to there in connexion with the Sāman which they worshipped. Brahmadatta Caikitāneya is brought into connexion with the Sāman in the Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad. and Vāsiṣṭha Caikitāneya is known to the Ṣaḍviṃśa and Vaṃśa Brāhmaṇas. The word is a patronymic, formed from Caikitāna, according to Śaṅkara, but more probably from Cekitāna, a name found in the Epic.
