One of those who are named 'Yati'. The Yatis were a people of anti-yajña feelings and were all burnt to death in Indra's fire of wrath. But three yatis, बृहद्गिरि , रयोवाज and पृथुरश्मि were taken care of by इन्द्र and इन्द्र taught them ब्रह्मविद्या , क्षत्रियविद्या and वैश्यविद्या .

पृथुरश्मि compelled Indra to grant him क्षात्रतेजस् also along with क्षात्रविद्या . There is now a साम even in the name of पृथुरश्मि . (Pañca-viṃśa-Brāhmaṇa) .
