History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v7.c94.62

v7.c94.62

²²⁴⁷ मनुष्यांस्तर्पयेद्भक्त्या ब्रह्मपुत्रांश्चर्षींस्तथा। सनकश्च सनन्दश्च तृतीयश्च सनातन. । कपिलश्चासुरिश्चैव वोढु. पञ्चशिखस्तथा। सर्वे ते तृप्तिमायान्तु मद्दत्तेनाम्बुना सदा॥ मत्स्य 102. 17-18. The Brahmāṇḍa-purāṇa (IV 2 272-274) mentions these seven sons of Brahmā but in a different order. The वामनपुराण (60 69-70) mentions the seven sons as सनत्कुमार, सनातन, सनक, सनन्दन, कपिल, वोढु and आसुरि and adds पञ्चशिख. In the बृहद्योगियाज्ञवल्क्यस्मृति (VII. 66) these same seven are said to be human sons of Brahmā. The स्मृतित्त्व. I. p. 193 quotes मत्स्य 102. 14-21 on the topic of तर्पण, but reads 'कपिलश्चासुरिश्चैव सोढु पञ्चशिखस्तथा।' in verse 18. वोढु or वोढ is a strange name and no verse or prose passage of his has been cited in works and commentaries on Sāṅkhya. It looks more like a prakrit form of some Sanskrit word. Vide Garbe in 'Die Sāṅkhya Philosophie' p. 72 for Voḍhu.
