From Jatland Wiki
Vena (वेन) Vainya (वैन्य) is the ancestor of Prithi / Prithu Vainya who is called the first consecrated king of the earth. Taitteriya Brahmana and Satapatha and Kathaka Samhita repeat this claim. He was the inventor of agriculture as per Atharva Veda. [1] As usual, Manu denounces him as irreligious and wanting in respect and submission to the Brahmans; he is further represented as having caused the confusion of castes. [2] Obviously, because he must have tried to unite the castes by mixing with each other. The Vainka of present Central Asia and the Venhval / Benhival Jats are their descendants. [3]
