==Traditional Accounts==
Yājñavalkya was the son of Devarāta and was the pupil of sage Vaisampayana.[5] On one occasion Vaisampayana got angry with Yājñavalkya as he found he argued too much and was abler than the other students. The angry teacher asked Yājñavalkya to give back all the knowledge from the Yajurveda that he had taught him.[5]
