सुपर्ण उवाच । इयं विवस्वता पूर्वं श्रौतेन विधिना किल । गुरवे दक्षिणा दत्ता दक्षिणेत्युच्यतेऽथ दिक्॥५-१०७-१॥

Suparṇa said: This quarter is said to have been given long ago by Vivasvat to his teacher as dakṣiṇā, the ritual honorarium according to the Śrauta procedure; therefore that direction is called “Dakṣiṇā,” the southern quarter.
