Other Bṛhaspatis and Bharadvājas are mentioned, but with want of personal distinction.⁷ One Bṛhaspati gave his daughter Romaśā to king Svanaya Bhāvayavya:⁸ another is said to have been the preceptor of king Vasu of Cedi:⁹ and another the preceptor of Vyāsa's son Śuka.¹⁰ One Bharadvāja taught Śatruñjaya king of the Sauviras:¹¹ another with his son Yavakrī is connected with Raibhya and his sons Arvāvasu and Parāvasu.¹² Many other Āṅgirasas, authors of Vedic hymns and others, are mentioned, some of whom were of more or less note, such as Hiraṇyastūpa, Kutsa, Gotama Rāhūgaṇa¹³ and Āpastamba;¹⁴ but there is no sufficient evidence to fix their positions. A Caṇḍa Kauśika, called son of Kakṣīvant Gautama, is made contemporary with Bṛhadratha and Jarāsandha, kings of Magadha, by contracting the genealogy.¹⁵
