[edit] Tittiri, "pupil" of Yaska

This is a myth, propagated by the Vishnu Purana. The fact is that Yaska, in the Nirukta, quoted extensively from the Taittiriya Samhita (See Appendix I of Lakhsman Sarup's critical edition of the Nighantu and Nirukta), which to him was a Vedic text. In simple English: the Taittiriya Samhita was in existence long before Yaska. rudra 17:48, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
