+अधिब्रह्म

प्रजापतिः

• prajApati himself could have originated as a protogonic manifestation of indra : MT
  • we have hints of that in the jaiminIya brAhmaNa.
  • In the KYV tradition this section has the verse sadasaspatim adbhutaM to indra signaling the linkage to indra within a prAjApatya sUkta via another protogonic deity of the indra class, i.e. bR^ihaspati.
  • the kaTha-s have 1 further verse not found in other extant KYV traditions: yasmAd anyo na puro .asti jAto
    ya Avivesha bhuvanAni vishvA |
    prajApatiH prajayA saMvidAnaH
    trINi jyotIgMShi sachate sa ShoDashI ||
    This again links prajApati to the aindra tradition via the characteristic epithet on indra ShoDashin.
