Rigveda
Legendary figure named as a beneficiary of the Asvins' (or another god's) aid.
with those by which you aided Vaśa, the horse-owner Preṇi — O Aśvins, come with those aids.
In a single day, O Aśvins, you came to help Vaśa win a thousand in the prize contest.
Let him come hither — the impious one who seized the pious man's filled store — even as Vaśa the horseman took it from him of wide fame, from Kānīta, at the breaking of dawn.
Vīramitrodaya
Authority cited for the rule governing fasting when only Dvādaśī increases.
When there is an increase of Dvādaśī alone, beginning with a complete *tithi*, Vāsa says:
> When Ekādaśī is elided, and Dvādaśī is on the next day, Dvādaśī should be fasted on there, if one desires the supreme state.
