 In some manuscripts of "Atharvaveda", the text is attributed to "Atharvangirasah", which is a compound of sage Atharvan and Angira.The student family of Angira are called "Angira", and they are credited to be the authors of some hymns in the first, second, fifth, eighth, ninth, and tenth books of the "Rigveda".Many hymns of the "Rigveda" credit Angiras and his students as their authors.
