Aupamanyava

In the Vamsa Brahmana of Vedic literature, Aupamanyava is listed as a Vedic sage and teacher of the Sama Veda.[1][2]

The patronymic Aupamanyava or "Upmanya" establishes him as a descendant of Upamanyu, while the name Kamboja suggests an association with the Kamboja kingdom of the (late Vedic) Mahajanapada period.[3]

The Vamsa Brahmana informs us that sage Anandaja had received Vedic learning from the sage Samba, the son of Sarkaraksa, as well as from Kamboja, the son or descendant of Upamanyu.
