Grtsamada (Sanskrit:
ग्र्त्समद) is a
rishi, credited with
most of Mandala 2 of
the Rigveda (36 out
of 43, hymns 27-29
being attributed to
his son Kurma and
4-7 to Somahuti).
Grtsamada was a son
of Shunahotra of the
family of Angiras,
but by Indra's will
he was transferred
to the Bhrigu
family. In the plural, the name refers to the clan of Grtsamada, so used in RV 2.4, 19, 39, 41. |
