Dhvasra is named with Puruṣanti in the Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa[१] as giving gifts to Taranta and Purumīḍha. These two, being kings, could not[२] properly accept gifts which Brāhmaṇas alone could accept, but by becoming authors of a verse of the Rigveda[३] they qualified themselves to accept them. The verse mentions the names in the dual as Dhvasrayoḥ Puruṣantyoḥ, ‘from the two, Dhvasra and Puruṣanti.’[४] In the Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa[५] the names occur in the dual as Dhvasre Puruṣantī, a reading which is confirmed by the Nidāna Sūtra.[६] The former is necessarily a feminine form, though Sāyaṇa, in his comment on the passage, explains it as really an irregular masculine. According to Roth,[७] the feminine is a corruption based on the dual form in the verse of the Rigveda mentioned above; but the names may be those of women,[८] as Benfey[९] inclines to believe. Weber[१०] suggests that the two were demons, but this is, as Sieg[११] shows, quite unnecessary. Dhvasra is no doubt identical with Dhvasanti.

Max Müller, Sacred Books of the East, 32, 360, points out that the sense of the Rīgveda passage is quite uncertain, and that the two, Taranta and Purumīḷha, as they appear in Rv. v. 61, are rather donors than receivers (see, however, verse 9, Purumīṭhāya viprāva).
