Amsha
Hindu · deity · vedic · Recorded classification
The thinnest record in this batch and ingested anyway, on the ground that a named member of an enumerated set of seven is an individual the tradition itself counts — the same ground on which lane 14 ingested Vikarna out of a hundred Kauravas. The domains entry is derived from the name and says so. DHATR, the sixth name in the same list, is NOT ingested, because the treatment gives him as 'Dhatr or Daksha' and this batch adds Daksha as a separate record: ingesting both would risk making one figure into two, and the census carries it as a BLOCKED row on exactly that question.
