GRTSAMADA I. A celebrated sage. He was the son of a sage called Vitahavya. Gṛtsamada was equal to Bṛhaspati and a great friend of Indra. Once this sage lectured to Yudhiṣṭhira on the glory of Śiva. Many have mistaken Gṛtsamada for Indra. Once the asuras bound him by ropes mistaking him for Indra. He had a son named Kucetā. (For more details see under Variṣṭhā) (Chapters 18 and 30, Anuśāsana Parva).
