1. vasishtha vasistha (sanskrit) the most wealthy; a celebrated vedic rishi, representing the typical brahmin sage. many legends have clustered about him, especially in regard to his conflict with the sage visvamitra -- the king who raised himself from the kshatriya to the brahmanical class. many hymns of the rig-veda are attributed to these two sages: one hymn represents vasishtha as the family priest of king sudas, and in the rig-veda (7:33:11) he is called the son of the apsaras urvasi by mitra and varuna, hence his name maitravaruni. he is also supposed to have owned nandini, the cow of plenty (offspring of surabhi). as this cow was able to grant the sage all his wishes, he became the master of every vasu (desirable object)
