The genealogy says that Kāśyapa had two sons Vatsāra and Asita. Vatsāra begot Nidhruva and Raibhya. Nidhruva married Sumedhas, daughter of Cyavana and Sukanyā, and was the progenitor of the Kuṇḍapāyins. Raibhya was progenitor of the Raibhyas. Asita married Ekaparṇā and their son was Devala, best of the Śāṇḍilyas.² But this genealogy is hopelessly wrong, as will appear from a chronological survey of Kāśyapa rishis who are mentioned.
