Topic: Aitareya


  
  Purpose and Origin of the Vedas
But if this were the case, the Vedas themselves would have to be considered noneternal compositions since their parts have names like Katha Upanisad and Aitareya Brahmana, which refer to the sages Katha and Aitareya.
The explanation is that portions of the Vedas are named after certain sages not because they wrote those portions but because they were these portions' main teachers and exponents.
Since persons with names like Katha and Aitareya appear in every millennium, one should not think that before the appearance of the known Katha and Aitareya these names were meaningless words in the Vedas.
