पृष्ठभागोऽयं यन्त्रेण केनचित् काले काले मार्जयित्वा यथास्रोतः परिवर्तयिष्यते। तेन मा भूदत्र शोधनसम्भ्रमः। सज्जनैः मूलमेव शोध्यताम्।

Kauśāmbeya is the patronymic (‘descendant of Kuśāmba’) of a teacher Proti in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa according to the St. Petersburg Dictionary: a view supported by the fact that Kūśāmba actually occurs as the name of a man in the Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa. It is, however, possible that the word means a ‘native of the town Kauśāmbī’ as understood by Harisvāmin in his commentary on the Śatapatha Brāhmana.
