> The madhuvidyā of BĀU 2,5 ends in 2,5,16-19 with a reference to the (secret knowledge of) madhu communicated by Dadhyañc Ātharvaṇa to the Aśvins.  Śatapatha-Brāhmaṇa 4,1,5,18 speaks of madhu nāma brāhmaṇam, which Dadhyañc Ātharvaṇa imparted to the Aśvins.  I am briefly discussing what is involved in my book “The Roots of Hinduism” (OUP 2015), chapter 11: The Aśvins as Funerary Gods (pp. 117-129).
