BṚHADAŚVA I. An ancient hermit. He had much respect for Dharmaputra. It is stated in the Mahābhārata, Vana Parva, Chapter 52, that Bṛhadaśva went to the forest Kāmyaka with Dharmaputra. Bṛhadaśva narrated the story ‘Nalopākhyāna’ to Dharmaputra in order to divert his mind from the thought of the loss of his kingdom. When he had finished the story he taught Dharmaputra, the two important spells, Akṣahṛdaya and Aśvaśiras.
