Is named with Purusanti in the Pañcavimśa Brāhmana as giving gifts to Taranta and Purumīdha. These two, being kings, could not properly accept gifts which Brāhmanas alone could accept, but by becoming authors of a verse of the Rigveda they qualified themselves to accept them. The verse mentions the names in the dual as Dhvasrayofy Purusaηtyoh, ‘from the two, Dhvasra and Purusanti.’ In the Pañcavimśa Brāhmana5 the names occur in the dual as Dhvasre Purusanti, a reading which is confirmed by the Nidāna Sūtra. The former is necessarily a feminine form, though Sāyana, in his comment on the passage, explains it as really an irregular masculine. According to Roth, 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, as Benfey inclines to believe. Weber suggests that the two were demons, but this is, as Sieg shows, quite unnecessary. Dhvasra is no doubt identical with Dhvasanti.
