Rigveda
Legendary figure named as a beneficiary of the Asvins' (or another god's) aid.
In a single day, O Aśvins, you came to help Vaśa win a thousand in the prize contest.
with those by which you aided Vaśa, the horse-owner Preṇi — O Aśvins, come with those aids.
For this much, O lord, may we know you anew, O hero — as you helped Etaśa in the contested wealth, as you helped Vaśa at Daśavraja.
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.
