Rigveda
Patron at whose soma-pressing Indra was exhilarated.
Those who by good work sought Indra for aid, at whose pressings thou dost exhilarate thyself — as thou wast exhilarated at Saṁvarta's, as at Kṛśa's — even so, O Indra, rejoice in us.

Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa
The brahmarṣi brother of Bṛhaspati who officiates at Marutta's sacrifice and dissuades the king from fighting Rāvaṇa.
A brahmarṣi named Saṃvarta, the very brother of Bṛhaspati, versed in dharma, was officiating at the sacrifice, surrounded by all the hosts of brahmin priests.
Then that king, seizing his bow and arrows, set forth furiously for battle — but Saṃvarta blocked his path.
" Thereupon king Marutta, lord of the earth, turned back at his guru's word, laid aside his arrow-strung bow, composed himself, and faced the sacrifice.
