The next noted Āṅgirasa was Śaradvant, son of a Gautama,¹² who married Ahalyā,¹³ sister of king Divodāsa of N. Pañcāla (p. 116); and his descendants are given in the N. Pañcāla genealogy,¹⁴ but the pedigree is very greatly abbreviated, only three generations being mentioned from Divodāsa’s time to that of Śantanu, namely Śatānanda, Satyadhṛti and the twins Kṛpa and Kṛpī, whom Śantanu succoured.¹ All these were Gautamas² and therefore descendants of Ucathya.³ There is nothing to fix the times of Śatānanda and Satyadhṛti.
