KĀPILEYA. Son of Viśvāmitra. After saving Śunaśśepha from death, Viśvāmitra was fondling the child on his lap. At that time, the child's father Ajīgarta came to him and wanted Viśvāmitra to return the child to him. Viśvāmitra then told him "Like Kāpileya and Bābhravya, this is also my son." From this we may infer that Kāpileya must have been Viśvāmitra's son. (Aitareya Brāhmaṇa).
