The *Gopatha Brāhmaṇa* narrates an anecdote of Janamejaya and two ganders, pointing out the importance of *Brahmacharya*, and the time which should be devoted to it. The story is obviously mythical but it shows that Janamejaya was already looked upon as a legendary hero in the time of the *Gopatha Brāhmaṇa*.¹
