An epithet, given to the seer Vyāsa, that alludes to the association of the Vedic seers with a range of astronomical phenomena. Like the figure of the siddha, the great seers can also be understood as beings who dwell “in the vault of the heavens,” which symbolizes their ascension to a semidivine status through the practice of intense asceticism.
