Aṅgirā. No genealogy bound him. He was not born, he emerged. One of the first visionaries, one of the founders of sacred insight, a being who heard the rhythm of the cosmos before anyone else understood its beat.

Brahmā meditated on devotion, knowledge, and sound. From his contemplation emerged a sage holding a shining vīṇā. He was Narada.

Dharma, born not as an enforcer of law, but as the living essence of righteousness. Brahmā welcomed him warmly.

Among Dakṣa’s daughters was Satī, child of extraordinary purity and strength. As she grew, her heart turned instinctively toward Śiva, the great ascetic, the silent lord seated on Kailāsa, who saw no difference between honor and dishonor, gold and dust, life and death.

Satya (Krita) Yuga In the earliest dawn of creation, when existence was still raw, trembling, and undefine, Brahmā opened his eyes upon the newborn cosmos. Vast emptiness stretched before him. The elements had formed, but life had not yet awakened. The worlds waited for minds that could perceive, shape, and sustain them. So Brahmā turned inward. From the stillness of his own mind, he created beings of pure thought. They emerged like sparks from his consciousness—radiant, wise

Tamasa was born in the lineage of the first Manu, descended from Uttānapāda, the father of Dhruva. He was called Tāmasa, meaning “born under the shadow,” not because he was evil, but because he would rule an age where the light of Dharma would face deep and persistent obscurations.

Raivata was born in the ancient lineage of Priyavrata, son of the first Manu, Svāyambhuva. But unlike his forefathers, Raivata was not born in a hermitage or palace. He was born on a mountain peak, where the wind rang like a crystal bell.

Cākṣuṣa did not come from the line of Priyavrata, unlike the previous Manus. He came from the lineage of the Cakṣus, a race of semi-divine visionaries who were said to be born of the eye of Brahmā, hence the name.

Among the many sons of Priyavrata, grandson of the first Manu, there was one child unlike the rest. His mother found that when he slept, the darkness of the hut thinned, as though a subtle dawn seeped out of his skin.

In the line of the first Manu, Svāyambhuva, there was a son named Priyavrata. Priyavrata had a brother—Uttānapāda, father of the famous king Dhruva. From this same lineage emerged a child destined to become the next Manu. Uttama Manu.

Lopāmudrā’s earliest memories were of Vidarbha’s palace, a world of shimmering silk, perfumed lamps, and morning music in polished halls.

Agastya begins not as a “character” but as a ṛṣi in the Veda, a poet-seer of Ṛgveda Maṇḍala. His origin myth is cosmic: Mitra and Varuṇa, gods of vow, law, oaths, behold the celestial Apsarā Urvaśī. A moment of desire flickers. Their semen spills.

Tāṭakā did not begin as a rākṣasī. She was born yakṣiṇī, a forest spirit of auspicious lineage. Her father Suketu had earned her from Brahmā through austerities.

Middle Treta Yuga In the radiant line of the Kauśikas, descended from the noble King-Sage Kuśika , there was born a son named Gādhi. His birth fulfilled the divine promise made by Indra to Kuśika — that from his lineage would arise one who would give rise to a sage who would “bridge heaven and earth.” Gādhi was born during the Tretā Yuga , in a time when kings were expected not merely to rule but to embody dharma  itself. As a child, he was taught the Vedas and the duties of

King Kushika's kingdom was small but prosperous, blessed with fertile fields and wise ministers. Though born a Kṣatriya, Kuśika’s heart leaned toward righteousness and spiritual inquiry.

Among Ikṣvāku’s many sons was Kukshi, who later came to be known by another name — Kukshi. Though remembered in later texts primarily as a link in the royal line, his story, preserved in fragments, is one of exile, redemption, and divine approval.

As a prince, Viśvāmitra was trained in all the royal sciences — archery, the Vedas, governance, statecraft, and the arts of war. He became a protector of his people, a conqueror of lands, and a patron of the learned.

Sage Vasishtha is one of the most respected and ancient sages in Indian tradition. He is counted among the Saptarṣis — the seven seers who preserve divine knowledge through the ages.

Bhagiratha was born in the royal line of Ikṣvāku, son of King Dilīpa of Ayodhyā. From childhood, he was unlike other princes — contemplative, steadfast, and guided by a sense of divine purpose.

From birth, Saudāsa was strong, noble, and fair-minded. Yet destiny had already written upon him a mark — a dark spot on his leg, resembling a burn or stain. Because of this, the people began calling him Kalmāṣapāda, “the one with the spotted foot.”
