Vedāṅgarāṡika (fl. 1268 A.D) is the name of a priest mentioned in the “Nandui stone inscription of Aparāditya II”. Accordingly, “... has been donated with the pouring out of water to the holy Vedāṅgarāśika, the priest of the feet of the god Someśvara, (in the present of) the illustrious Joghunāyaka, Brāmānāyaka..”.

This stone inscription (mentioning Vedāṅgarāṡika) is said to have been found at Nandui, about twelve miles south-west of Vāḍā in the Ṭhāṇā District of North Koṅkaṇ. It records the donation of the village Sātuli (or a field in it) to the priest Vedāṅgarāśika of the local shrine of Someśvara. It is dated in the Śaka year 1119 on the 10th tithi of the dark fortnight of Kārttika, Thursday.
