ATHARVĀ I. This muni is referred to in Mahābhārata, Udyoga Parva, Chapter 43, Verse 50, as a professional chanter of Chandaveda. Once under the curse of Bhṛgu Maharṣi, Agni hid himself under the sea. (See "AGNI"). At that time, it was Atharvā who, at the suggestion of the Devas, went under the water and discovered Agni. (M.B., Vana Parva, Chapter 222, Verse 8).
