पृष्ठभागोऽयं यन्त्रेण केनचित् काले काले मार्जयित्वा यथास्रोतः परिवर्तयिष्यते। तेन मा भूदत्र शोधनसम्भ्रमः। सज्जनैः मूलमेव शोध्यताम्।

1. Vatsa is often found in the Rigveda and later in the sense of ‘calf.’ Reference is made to the use of a calf to induce the cow to give milk, and to the separation of the cows from the calves at certain times.

2. Vatsa occurs several times in the Rigveda as the name of a singer, a son or descendant of Kaṇva. In the Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa he is said to have passed successfully through a fire ordeal to which he resorted for the purpose of proving to his rival, Medhātithi, the purity of his descent. He is also mentioned in the Śāṅkhāyana Śrauta Sūtra as the recipient of bounty from Tirindara Pāraśavya.
