  *The Vedic Index of Names and Subjects*
  > 2. Māna is the name of a man occurring in several passages of the Rigveda. In one place 1 express mention is made of his son ( sūnu ), by whom, despite Bergaigne's view to the contrary, 2 Agastya must be meant. In another passage, 3 apparently the same meaning applies to Māna — that is, Agastya as ‘a Māna.’ In a third passage 4 the expression sūnave Mānena has been held by Sieg 5 to be an inversion of Mānasya sūnunā, ‘by the son of Māna’ — i.e., Agastya; but it seems more likely 6 that either sūnor Māna is the fuller form of Agastya's name (‘pride Page2-153+ 39 of the son,’ with reference to his high ancestry), or that the son 7 of Māna (= Agastya) is alluded to as interested in Viśpalā. The Mānas — that is, the descendants of Māna, are in several passages alluded to as singers. 8 Cf. Mānya, Māndārya. [ Footnote: 1) Rv. i. 189, 8.] [ Footnote: 2) Religion Védique, 2, 394. Cf.
